Basically, Zidane said that:
1) His own reaction was not forgivable and should be punished. He is sorry it happened.
2) He started joking about the shirt grab before M's insults
3) He does not regret what he did because otherwise it would make it OK for Materazzi to say what he did.
4) He says there are 2 people involved: the instigator, and the reactor. Both should be punished. He says people focus too much on the reaction and not the provocation.
5) He won't repeat the exact words (put yourself in his place. I don't think I could ever repeat words that severely insult my sick mother)
6) He wants the children of the world to know that doing what he did should be avoided, but also to not let other people walk all over you.
Basically Zidane is a man who will instinctively defend his family no matter what.
