Former Inter defender Lucio has lashed out at Marco Materazzi previous comments. Materazzi declared earlier that Lucio who now plays with Palmeiras, should retire.

“It’s difficult to talk about Materazzi, because I arrived in Italy in 2009 and the last time I saw him play well was in 2006.

“I always had an excellent rapport with Mourinho, in fact, he once said that if he had to go to war, I’d be the first person he’d bring with him. That was reported all over the world and made me very happy.

“Perhaps it hurts him that before I arrived he’d never got past the Champions League Round of 16. Materazzi is a bit repressed, but on the pitch he was very nasty as he went in to hurt his opponents. I played alongside him and heard him say he played to hurt the opposition.

“Now he behaves the same way off the field, as a nasty person.”
