Didier Deschamps and Eric Cantona are expected in court this Friday to settle their accounts: the first accuses the second of defamation in a story now four years old. At the time, "King Eric" had implied that the absences of Benzema and Ben Arfa in the DD list for Euro 2016 were due to the origins of the players, which had caused a chain reaction, leading the coach to go to court. Cantona had notably drawn a dubious parallel between Deschamps and the Mormons.
The two former players of the France team, who had crossed under the blue jersey in the 1990s, intended to be present before the 17th correctional chamber of the Paris tribunal de grande instance, at 1.30 p.m. Unless the hearing is postponed due to the lawyers' strike against the reform of their autonomous pension plan, they say that this is a “real hypothesis”. According to our information, the two lawyers requested the referral and advised their clients not to go to the hearing.
