Matteo Materazzi’s wife puts bad tongues to rest

In an interview granted to Corriere della Sera, Maura, Matteo Materazzi’s wife, silenced the bad tongues by also talking about her husband’s newfound relationship with his brother Marco, a former defender for the national team as well as numerous club teams, including Inter and Perugia.

“For years they had a complicated relationship – she stressed – but since the beginning of the illness they have returned to talking to each other every day. Marco is also spending himself in his possibilities, we cannot forget that he has a family. But she is next to him, as we all are. And of this Matteo is overjoyed“.

Who is Matteo Materazzi, Marco’s brother fighting ALS

“Within months he lost the use of his legs, ending up in a wheelchair. Today he no longer even moves his arms, only his hands a little. The disease is advancing rapidly. He would like to see his children grow up but he doesn’t believe it. She is realistic, 50 percent of ALS patients die within three years” added the woman, who in recent days launched a fundraiser.

Matteo, a prosecutor and son of Giuseppe, a former soccer player and former coach of Pisa, Lazio and Bari, among others, was unfortunately diagnosed with a very aggressive form of Sla last September. He is 49 years old.
