L’ailier international de Bordeaux-Bègles Damian Penaud, euphorique en Champions Cup cette saison (4 essais en 3 matchs), a qualifié la réception des Sharks de Durban prévue dimanche «?de match couperet?» pour la suite de la compétition.

«?Pour moi, c’est clairement un match couperet étant donné que si on gagne avec 5 points, on reçoit tout jusqu’à la demie?», a déclaré Penaud samedi en conférence de presse.

«?Se déplacer, c’est beaucoup plus dur, mine de rien. Recevoir trois fois, je ne dis pas que c’est plus simple mais ça nous facilite un peu le chemin?», a-t-il ajouté.

Penaud, qui a avoué «?se régaler?» au sein de la ligne d’attaque de l’UBB, leader du Top 14 et meilleure équipe jusque-là en Champions Cup «?au jeu plus ouvert (que le Top 14) qui correspond plus à notre type de jeu?», a insisté sur la confiance qui habite actuellement son équipe.

«?Forcément qu’avec huit matchs gagnés d’affilée, on a pris en confiance et on se repose aussi là-dessus et ça nous permet d’enchaîner les bonnes performances et j’espère que ça va continuer ce week-end?», a-t-il dit.

Face aux Sharks, «?un gros morceau même s’ils n’ont pas forcément tous leurs joueurs de ce que j’ai pu voir?», Penaud s’attend à «?un match très compliqué?».

«?On connaît la férocité et la dureté de ces joueurs, donc il va falloir qu’on soit vigilant et qu’on attaque bien ce match, qu’on soit présent dès le début parce que ça va piquer?», a-t-il prévenu.

Selon l’ancien Clermontois, le risque face à cette équipe serait «?de les prendre de haut, se faire prendre devant en conquête, subir les collisions. On sait à quel point sur le un contre un, ils sont durs. En touche, en mêlée, ça va être un grand rendez-vous aussi pour nos gros et nous, derrière, il va falloir qu’on soit bien connectés parce que c’est solide aussi?».

Interrogé sur le fait de retrouver quelques champions du monde sud-africains qui avaient mis fin au parcours des Bleus en quarts de finale en 2023, Penaud a répondu «?c’est derrière moi?».

«?Tu l’as toujours en travers de la gorge, mais bon, au-delà de ça, c’est un match de clubs et pas un match international. Après, c’est propre à chacun aussi. Moi, j’ai fait le deuil, ça a été compliqué pendant un mois après le quart et puis je suis passé à autre chose. La plupart (des Bleus) sont passés à autre chose même si, forcément, il y a un petit goût d’inachevé étant donné qu’on aurait aimé aller jusqu’au bout. Mais voilà, ça fait partie du sport?», a-t-il conclu.

In 2024, I received a substantial tax refund, which I saw as a golden opportunity to improve my financial situation. Eager to invest, I became interested in Bitcoin, a digital currency that many believe represents the future of finance. Unfortunately, my excitement led me to a fraudulent company that promised incredible returns on investments. Their persuasive tactics and seemingly legitimate operations drew me in, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that I had been deceived, and my hard-earned money $572,000 had vanished.Feeling devastated and hopeless after losing such a significant amount, I reached out to a friend who had faced a similar ordeal. They recommended a company called GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , which specializes in recovering lost Bitcoin.
