La fusée UBB prête à décoller

Demi-finaliste du championnat de France en 2021, 2022 et 2023, l’Union Bordeaux-Bègles se verrait bien franchir un palier de plus cette saison, et disputer le Bouclier de Brennus pour la première fois de son histoire.

Invités du Super Moscato Show, ce mercredi sur RMC, Maxime Lucu et Mathieu Jalibert ont évoqué les ambitions bordelaises, grandissantes, et de plus en plus légitimes au fur et à mesure des saisons.

Fondé en 2006 de la fusion du Stade Bordelais et du Club athlétique béglais, le club a pris le temps de grandir depuis son accession au Top 14, en 2011.

Mais cette saison, les joueurs aimeraient montrer que le temps de l’apprentissage est terminé, et se montrer comme les dignes successeurs des Béglais champions de France en 1991, portés par leur célèbre « tortue », ces mauls dévastateurs qui pouvaient traverser tout le terrain.

À la différence près que l’UBB d’aujourd’hui ressemble plus à une fusée qu’à un char d’assaut. Elle mise sur un jeu de mouvement et les cannes de ses trois-quarts, plutôt que sur les phases statiques et la puissance de ses avants.

Il faut dire qu’avec une charnière Maxime Lucu – Mathieu Jalibert, les ailiers Damian Penaud et Louis Bielle-Biarrey, les centres Yoram Moefana et Nicolas Depoortere, le manager Yannick Bru dispose d’une armada estampillée « équipe de France » chez les trois-quarts.

De quoi mettre fin à une disette de titre qui dure depuis plus de trente ans ?

« Je ne sais pas s’ils sont en manque de titre, mais c’est vrai que depuis plusieurs saisons, on sent le soutien de nos supporteurs », savoure Jalibert.

« On sait que chaque fois qu’on va jouer une grosse équipe dans ce stade (Chaban-Delmas, ndlr), il y a beaucoup d’ambiance, de ferveur, ils sont là pour nous pousser. C’est hyper important pour nous, ça nous galvanise. »

Le stade Chaban-Delmas possède l’affluence la plus importante du Top 14, avec 26 000 spectateurs présents en moyenne à chaque match de l’UBB.

« On a envie de leur rendre sur le terrain ce qu’ils nous donnent en tribunes. Ça fait un beau mélange et ça nous fait vivre des moments exceptionnels à Chaban. »

Les Girondins sont actuellement troisièmes du Top 14, à trois journées de la fin. Pour continuer à donner du plaisir, et à en prendre, dans leur antre en phases finales, il leur faut se maintenir à ce rang, synonyme de barrage contre le 6e à domicile. D’éventuelles demi-finale et finale se jouent sur terrain neutre.

« Sur les matchs de phase finale, tout est remis à plat, à zéro. On l’a très bien vu contre les Harlequins : quand on rate des détails, on peut passer à la trappe », prévient Maxime Lucu, en référence au quart de finale extraordinaire de Champions Cup perdu contre le club anglais (41-42) il y a un mois.

« On travaille cette année pour progresser et faire mieux que les années précédentes. On a envie de jouer les phases finales, c’est certain. »

Un enthousiasme décuplé par le sentiment de pouvoir aller loin, autant porté par les résultats obtenus que par le rugby développé.

« On a travaillé des choses dans notre jeu, dans notre faculté à déplacer le ballon qu’on n’avait pas forcément. Avec les nouveaux coachs, on a essayé de bosser les détails qui font la différence. »

« Maintenant, à nous de mettre tous les ingrédients pour franchir au moins un étage de plus », encourage le demi de mêlée.

Un étage supplémentaire qui emporterait la fusée UBB jusqu’au Stade France, base de lancement à destination du Brennus.

Crusaders rookie earns 'other than Dupont' praise from All Blacks star

It was a cold evening when I realized I had lost everything. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Bitcoin—gone. I had fallen victim to an elaborate scam, a promise of high returns that had turned into my worst nightmare.I had always been cautious with my investments, but these scammers were professionals. They posed as a legitimate crypto investment firm, complete with a polished website, convincing testimonials, and even fake regulatory approvals. Their scheme was perfect—until it wasn’t. After weeks of trying to recover my funds on my own, filing complaints, and chasing shadows, I almost gave up. That’s when I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a company renowned for its expertise in ethical tech solutions and cryptocurrency fraud recovery. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to Galaxy Ethical Tech through their official website. Within hours, I received a response from their lead investigator, Daniel Carter. His calm yet confident tone gave me a renewed sense of hope. We’ve handled cases like yours before,” he assured me. “If the scammers haven’t moved your Bitcoin through an extensive network of tumblers, there’s a good chance we can track it. I handed over all the details—wallet addresses, transaction IDs, emails, and even chat logs with the scammers. Within 48 hours, their team of blockchain analysts got to work.Galaxy Ethical Tech used advanced blockchain forensics to trace the movement of my stolen Bitcoin. Every transaction left a digital footprint, and with their AI-driven tracking tools, they followed the money trail. It turned out that the scammers had transferred my Bitcoin through a series of crypto mixers, attempting to break the chain of traceability. However, Galaxy Ethical Tech had access to specialized de-anonymization algorithms and partnerships with global cybersecurity agencies. One breakthrough came when they identified a suspicious transaction leading to a centralized exchange. Using legal channels and law enforcement partnerships, they froze the scammer’s wallet before they could cash out.After two intense weeks, I received an email from Galaxy Ethical Tech: We’ve recovered your lost Bitcoin. Expect the full amount in your wallet within 24 hours. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I checked my wallet obsessively until, finally, my 300,000 BTC was back.You don’t know what this means to me,” I said, my voice shaking.He chuckled. “Just another day at Galaxy Ethical Tech. Stay safe, and always verify before you trust. Losing my Bitcoin was a nightmare, but it taught me valuable lessons: Never trust unsolicited investment opportunities. Always verify the legitimacy of crypto platforms. Use secure wallets and enable two-factor authentication. If scammed, act fast and contact professionals like Galaxy Ethical Tech.Thanks to their ethical approach and cutting-edge technology, I got a second chance. If you ever find yourself in a crypto scam, don’t lose hope—there are still heroes in the digital world.
