It was a good example of a high focus explosive move carried out within a fairly short distance. There is some media controversy about if the Italian soccer player was faking when he went down but I tend to think the head butt was pretty good.

I guess all the practice striking fast-moving soccer balls in-air came through. I wouldn't have wanted to be on the receiving end.
As for the language barrier, it's not like France and Italy are very far apart, geographically or linguistically. And the guy presumably knew going in that he'd spend a lot of time marking Zidane - it's not like NFL players are the only ones who spend time preparing trash-talk during the week prior.
