"The star of Madrid Zinedine Zidane was upset by the April 1st joke of the French sports newspaper "L'Equipe".
The newspaper on Friday in one of its news quoted the French star who withdrew from the national team after the 2004 European Championship in Portugal, claiming that he will return to his country's national team for the qualification matches for the 2006 World Cup in Germany against Ireland already in September of this year.
The 32-year-old Frenchman once again confirmed his decision not to change: "I already said once that I am leaving the national team. You should know that I never break my word."
"They said on TV that I intend to return. This is not good, this is a huge shame," Z. Zidane poured out his anger. "They are saying things that completely contradict my words. I do not intend to change my decision."
"In any case, I am sure that France will play in Germany," said the "Real" star. "But people cannot expect me to be the savior. I may want to return to the national team, but there is a huge gap between desire and possibilities. Fans cannot put everything on my shoulders."
