阿皮亚诺·詹蒂莱消息：在妻子达尼埃拉和三个孩子安娜、大卫与吉安马尔科的陪同下，蓝黑军团后卫马特拉齐回访了安杰洛·莫拉蒂体育中心。向曼奇尼和队友们问好之后，马特拉齐对国际米兰频道谈了他受伤的情况。
“这是我第一次出现这种意外，我想那一刻我已经清楚自己受伤了，”他说。“让我欣慰的是这次冲撞还不太猛烈。我失血过多，现在我懂了为什么我会晕倒。在受撞击后我仍留在球场，我尝试自己站起来并让裁判平静下来，因为我听到球迷的嘘声—他们认为我故意卧地不起。不幸的是我除了回更衣室再不能做其他事了，而且我知道事情对我不妙。
我很难表述我在更衣室的感觉，教练对我说我还得坚持完下半场，但我回答说我不能。那时他们明白了，我确实出问题了。随着时间流逝，我的肌肉持续膨胀。说实在的，当我们回到意大利的时候，他们让我睡一觉，但我根本等不及。我实在太疼了，从没有过这种感受，我希望马上结束。贝纳佐教授和孔比迅速作出最佳选择。我感到难以置信的疼痛。在飞机上，这疼痛将我扭曲，我妻子曾对我说生孩子是一个人能受到的最大的疼痛，我想我已经接近那种感觉了—我就象要生孩子那样疼。
我想现在最好就是多走动，因为这样帮助淋巴循环。我希望能够移走我肌肉里那些填充物，我不知道它们是淤血还是其它感染的东西，但是大概10天之后我们会检查它究竟是什么，并采取正确行动。不过，我想说我已经相当幸运。内部大出血已经威胁了我的职业生涯，坐飞机回来也是一个艰难的决定。好在一切都很顺利。我想立即回到家里，我想回到温暖怀抱。但那样我必须推迟手术，这有可能致使我的肌肉坏死。因此，我认为我很幸运。
我对我所做的以及为了康复将要做的一切感到高兴。我要感谢所有在我网站留言的人，不仅仅是国际米兰球迷。这让我和他们都感到光荣，我只能写封信来感谢你们，因为我的身体还不允许我逐个答谢。这是真的，我写下了‘谢谢你，我不会让你失望的’。只要我的双腿允许。永远不会！”
马特拉齐将修养一阵子，而国际米兰已经开始了新赛季，他们在揭幕战中被乌迪内斯逼平。“每场平局之后总会有太多评论，”这名后卫说。“他们都在等着看我们的笑话，当所有人都攻击我们的时候，我们必须展示我们的力量。这就是我们要做的。”
APPIANO GENTILE - Accompanied by his wife Daniela and three children Anna, Davide and Giammarco, Nerazzurri defender Marco Materazzi paid a visit to the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti this afternoon. After greeting Roberto Mancini and the players, Materazzi spoke on Inter Channel about the injury he suffered during last Wednesday's friendly international between Italy and Hungary in Budapest.
"It's the first time I have seen the incident again, I think I have pinpointed the moment in which I hurt myself," he said. "What makes me hopeful is that it wasn't too hard a blow. I lost a lot of blood and I can understand now why I felt as if I was going to faint. I remained on the ground right after suffering the blow, I tried to tranquilise the referee and then I tried to pick myself up because I could hear the fans booing - they thought I stayed down on purpose. Unfortunately there was nothing else I could do but walk back to the dressing room, but I already knew what happened to me wasn't good.
"It's hard to tell you what I felt in the changing room, the coach told me I had to play the second half but I replied that I couldn't. At that point they understood it wasn't a good thing for me. As the minutes went by my muscle kept swelling up. To be honest, I couldn't wait for them to put me to sleep when we arrived back in Italy. I was in so much pain, that I had never felt before, and I was hoping it would end. Professors Benazzo and Combi acted promptly and made an immediate decision as to what was the best thing to do. I felt incredible pain. In the plane I was twisting from the pain and I thought of when my wife said giving birth is the greatest pain a person can feel. I thought I was close - it was a bit like I had given birth as well.
"I think the best thing to do now is walk because it helps the lymph move and not settle. And I hope I can remove all this stuffing from the muscle. I don't know if it's coagulated blood or an infection, but in about ten days time we will see what it is and take the right action. However, I want to say that I consider myself a very lucky person. With an internal haemorrhage I was risking my career, and deciding to take a plane was a hard decision to make. But it went well. I wanted to come back home immediately and I knew I would be in good hands. Staying there would have delayed the operation and there would have been the risk of muscle necrosis. So I consider myself fortunate.
"I'm pleased with what I have done and with what I will do to recover. I want to thank all those who have written in to my site, and not just the Interisti. This does credit to me and also to them. I have only been able to write one thank you letter because physically I couldn't reply to each person. It's true that I wrote 'thanks, I won't disappoint you'. As long as my legs allow me to, I never will do."
Materazzi will be out of action for a while but in the meantime Inter began the 2007/08 Serie A season with a stalemate against Udinese. "There's always too much talk after a draw," the defender said. "They're all lying in wait for us but we have to show our strength in these moments when everyone is attacking us. And this is what we will do."
