imagine the number of kicks and nibbles he has to endure during the course of a match...coaches would want their defenders to close zidane down and stop him from making passes...thus at cost and try every trick in the book to piss him off...
if somebody kicks you or shout insult at your family...would you retaliate?
he is also human being...
having bad temper and competitive agression is 2 different things...rooney and zidane has that agression that make them such great players...think viera and keane...you think they will be great players if they shrug at every tackle instead of going in full blooded with agression and determination?
