Headbutting incident not given appropriate prominence in article[edit]

While Zidane is clearly notable for a number of things and has a long and storied career, the headbutting of Materazzi was an international incident that made him a pop culture icon well beyond the world of professional football, and is likely the only thing he is known for to many people across the world. This incident is seemingly purposefully buried in the middle of a paragraph relating various career highlights in the overview, and then again buried in the middle of a recap of his overall contributions to the 2006 world cup. The pop culture reference section is the only place where it's properly highlighted, which is confusing since the rest of the page greatly downplays it. Considering its notoriety, the incident should be given its own section in the article, complete with a header. Fans of the man may not enjoy that this one incident tends to overshadow his accomplishments as a player or coach, but the current framing of the incident in the article borders on dishonest image management.Lurdiak (talk) 19:47, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
