Italian Midfielder Rino Gattuso says
"With Zidane, it's just a case of Magic, Now you see the ball and now you don't."
To Stop Zidane, Italians think- they have Gattuso to stop Zidane.
But Gattuso himself is seeking “Divine Intervention” for stopping Zidane.
"He is the type of player that when he is 100% he doesn't let you see the ball," Gattuso said. "With him, it's just a case of magic, now you see the ball and now you don't.
Italian Defender Marco Materazzi's response to talk of the threat Zidane poses to Italy's hopes of World Cup was simple: "We have Gattuso". Materazzi said that in midfielder Rino Gattuso, Italy had a player to negate the threat of Zidane. "We have people who can mark Zizou all over the pitch and we've also got Gattuso, who's in incredible form. He doesn't need encouragement - if he were any more up for it he'd destroy everything."
But Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso said he will look to the heavens for help stopping Zinedine Zidane in Sunday's World Cup final.
"You simply don't stop Zidane," said Gattuso. "He is one of the strongest players - when he has the ball you have to do the sign of the cross and hope he misses."
