Inter Milan defender Marco Materazzi is threatening legal action against Udinese coach Giovanni Galeone over claims he taunted opposition players during their Coppa Italia clash.
"I have not ever had to do that during a match and I have not provoked my opponents on the field," said Materazzi. "You ask Iaquinta and Rossini.
"However, I will not come down to his level, if indeed Galeone referred to me, I will speak to my lawyers. I have played an optimal game, and of only this am I interested in talking about, not other things that do not exist."
