After the departure last June of a Patrice Lagisquet tired and worn out by ten years bench is the second wheel tandem champion France in 2005 and 2006, finalist in the European Cup in 2006, which folds in less baggage six months. Because "exemption (Delmas) in attending the training course and the club this week in Hendaye, terms politically and legally correct release of BO Wednesday, is not connected to anything other than setting on the sidelines, germinating for some time around Aguilera. Weakened after defeats in Dax (18-30) and Clermont (6-32) in late September, Delmas, unevenly supported by his locker, was found shortly after colors with a cardboard face Montpellier (46-3), but the defeat Aguilera to the neighbor against Bayonne (12-14) and non-revolt in Toulon (5-10) Saturday, have sealed its future.

A Portland, Nicolas Batum has done his best game of the season when the Blazers win easily on the Heat (106-68). Holder, the former Manceau a score 15 points (3 / 4 to three points) including 10 in the first quarter meanwhile, picked up 6 rebounds and 2 passes issued in 22 minutes.

Foot - C1 - Planus: "Making a feat in Rome"

Authors of a convincing performance Wednesday evening at Chaban-Delmas against Chelsea (1-1), Bordeaux players had the feeling of accomplishment after the meeting. Marc Planus, who agreed with embarrassment that Bordeaux has conceded a goal on a rare adverse, preferred to emphasize the game and state of mind made by the Girondins. Everything will depend now in two weeks in Rome and the central defender (photo L'Equipe) is aware that his team will make a small feat if it wants to qualify for the quarter-finals.

"Marc Planus, what are your feelings after this result against Chelsea zero?
After a tie, there is never content. But we must not forget that we faced one of the best teams in Europe or the world. We must relativize and say that a point is a good thing, especially when you're done yet just minutes from the end. What is positive is that we found the resources to get the equalizer. During the match, they left little space and they had few opportunities. We, we had some particularly in the first period. This is satisfactory but there is nothing done. This will be especially important if we manage to do something in Rome.

Is he not of frustration anyway?
Yes of course but we have still been conducted. The slightest mistake, even to fifty meters of our goals is paid cash. At the moment, it's hard. It is really not helped. But the fact back in the game, it's a good thing. There are one or two months, I do not think we'd revenues in this match like that. Tonight, it was able to be welded and did not particularly daunted. We played our football. This was, I think, a very nice match to watch.

Bordeaux will now have to go defend his chances in Rome. It inspires you what?
It is already well for Bordeaux to know that it is mathematically possible to qualify in Rome. If we were told initially that we play qualification in the last match, I think everyone would have signed. In Italy, he will have to make an achievement, there is no choice. Anyway, we knew he had to be an achievement to qualify. When we saw the draw, was clear.

Do you feel capable of going to win in Italy?
On a match is possible. But many, we can not compete with teams like Chelsea or Rome. We are aware of. We can be ambitious at a time, we must be realistic. Tonight, we knew that everything could happen. There was a determination which was increased tenfold. It was able to make their pitch by compensating for our lack of technical aggression and envy. It was match well and I hope that we will come to Rome to tip the balance in our favor. "nop
