Didier Deschamps and Eric Cantona had an appointment this Friday at the Paris tribunal de grande instance for the defamation trial of the second named. But as the prosecutor regretted, "the legal match" has been postponed to October 12, 2021. The lawyers of the two parties asked for the postponement of the hearing within the framework of the lawyers' strike against the reform of their autonomous regime of retirement.
Trial postponed to September 17, 2020 to plead nullities, but as regards the merits, the case will not be tried before October 12, 2021. DD will have time to be European champion by then. #The fields

As a reminder, Didier Deschamps accuses Eric Cantona 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.
