A tackle that would make Joey Barton pale.
The new number of So Footavailable on newsstands this Thursday, is a great opportunity to taste a long interview with former Montpellier coach Michel Der Zakarianproduced just a few days before his thanks by Laurent Nicollin and the MHSC. Among the MDZ anecdotes, that concerning the circumstances of killer tackle by Eric Cantona is particularly tasty. Opposing Canto's AJ Auxerre in the 1988 Coupe de France, Der Zakarian, then a FC Nantes player, approached King Éric on a free kick: “We're around the ball, I blow my nose, and it falls on him a little bit. »
The rest of the scene is simply iconic: “He had taken a yellow just before, and there he said to Robert Wurtz, the referee: “Prepare the red because I'm going to cut it in half.” Well as soon as I had the ball, he came to cut me! » Not resentful towards “a nice guy” who would subsequently become his teammate in Montpellier, MDZ even admits to having added more at the time: “This tackle, I roll on the ground, I act out, but in fact, I have nothing at all, because I saw it coming, I had anticipated it. »
