Castres fêtait son retour en phase finale de la « grande » Coupe d’Europe après 25 ans d’absence sur la pelouse de Pierre-Fabre.

Après moins de trois minutes de jeu, les Castrais se sont montrés opportunistes en marquant un essai par l’intermédiaire de Remy Baget, qui a bien suivi une glissade de Rhyno Smith pour s’emparer du ballon et filer à dame.

Mais Trévise a répondu dans la foulée. Castres a cafouillé un ballon en défense et ce sont, cette fois, les Italiens qui ont capitalisé grâce à leur pilier Thomas Gallo qui a plongé au ras.

Si les Castrais ont cherché à percer le rideau italien en insistant au près pendant plusieurs minutes, le Benetton a bien résisté jusqu’à la 16e minute. À force de patience, Castres a fini par trouver l’espace sur les extérieurs après plusieurs percussions.

Après avoir gagné des mètres, Théo Chabouni a profité du retour intérieur de Louis Le Brun en bout de ligne sur la droite pour résister à un plaquage et tendre le bras.

Rémi Baget a fait parler son opportunisme à la 22e minute en interceptant une passe alors qu’il avait bien senti le coup dans la ligne italienne.

Les débats se sont ensuite équilibrés sur les dix minutes qui ont suivi, jusqu’à ce que Trévise, après avoir tenu le ballon pendant une longue séquence méthodiquement construite, ne marque un essai en bout de ligne à droite et ne revienne à quatre points.

Castres a tenté de percer le rideau du Benetton dans la foulée, notamment grâce à l’activité de Chabouni et Arrata, mais les Italiens ont profité d’un ballon tombé et d’une glissade castraise pour foncer droit et inscrire un essai de 100 m grâce à Brex, au soutien.

Le match s’est alors emballé. Castres a, encore une fois, mis le feu dans le camp des Italiens, avant que ces derniers relancent jusque dans les 22 adverses, perdent le ballon et permettent aux Castrais de revenir dans le camp adverse et de finalement marquer un nouvel essai via Babillot au terme d’une très longue séquence.

Les locaux sont rentrés au vestiaire à 24-22 après une première période énergivore.

« C’est un match accroché, à enjeu, les détails comptent. Il faudra faire une grosse deuxième mi-temps », confiait Théo Chabouni à la pause sur BeIn Sports. « Il faudra réajuster des détails pour ne pas leur laisser ces pénalités qui leur permettent de remonter. »

Au retour des vestiaires, les Castrais se sont retrouvés à 14 quand Séguret a écopé d’un rouge pour une charge à l’épaule sur Albornoz. Dans la foulée, Trévise a repris l’avantage en inscrivant un essai en coin en sortie de maul grâce au talonneur Bautista Bernasconi, qui a vu le trou côté fermé.

La folie et le rythme haletant de la première période a laissé place à un combat plus haché en deuxième mi-temps, à l’image de cette grosse échauffourée à la 52e minute, les deux équipes recevant un carton jaune.

L’impressionnante vitesse de Paolo Odogwu a permis aux visiteurs d’inscrire un nouvel essai à la 57e minute. En bout de ligne, dans son couloir gauche, il a mis les gaz à l’entrée des 40 mètres pour déposer Ambadiang et aller aplatir sur un exploit personnel.

Ce dernier a réduit le score en étant à la réception d’un long coup de pied à suivre tapé sur l’aile droite depuis le centre du terrain.

Les Castrais ont fini par faire craquer leurs adversaires en toute fin de match grâce à Jérémy Fernandez. Après d’innombrables temps de jeu, plusieurs mêlées et un carton jaune attribué à Gallo, le Castrais a profité des leurres pour finalement s’écrouler au pied des poteaux.

Après un incroyable combat, Castres s’est imposé 39-37 et s’est qualifié en quart de finale pour affronter Northampton.

Xavier Sadourny : « À la Castraise »

Après la rencontre, Florent Vanverberghe, élu Homme du Match, était fier et ému. « C’était une histoire d’hommes », déclarait-fil au micro de BeIn Sports. « À Castres, on a quelque chose. On ne fait pas le match qu’on veut faire, on fait pas mal d’erreurs. L’équipe en face nous a donné du fil à retordre. On avait à cœur de faire un truc spécial. »

Le manager Xavier Sadourny, quant à lui, confiait : « C’est bon pour le suspense, moins pour le cœur, même si je commence à être habitué. C’est notre marque de fabrique de revenir de nulle part. On a manqué de précision, on s’est fait contrer, on a pris des essais à zéro passe sur des renvois. »

« Ce sont de bons joueurs en face, mais à la Castraise, on est revenu devant ce beau public et on est en quart de finale. »

« C’est stressant. On a fait preuve de solidarité, de résilience, de courage pour revenir de je ne sais où, c’est ancré en nous, c’est notre histoire depuis le début de saison », a-t-il ajouté en conférence de presse. « Il faut que ce match nous serve car dans la première mi-temps, on les laisse dans le match avec des fautes qu’on peut éviter. C’était important qu’on joue à fond cette compétition car on a besoin de ces matchs-là pour progresser. »

In France, we deeply value financial security and independence. After my divorce, my life took a chaotic turn, and amidst all the turmoil, I misplaced the backup phrase for my Bitcoin wallet, which held a significant amount, $220,000. I was already grappling with emotional challenges, and the thought of losing my Bitcoin felt like the final blow.

In moments like these, I couldn't help but think of the French saying, “Il ne faut jamais dire jamais,” which means “Never say never.” Little did I know that this would become a mantra for my recovery journey. I spent days searching for that elusive phrase, going through old documents and turning my apartment upside down, but it was as if the universe had conspired against me—the backup was simply gone.

Feeling desperate and overwhelmed, I confided in a friend who works in the cryptocurrency space. He recommended Hack Buster Recovery, mentioning that they had helped many French investors in similar situations. Skeptical but out of options, I decided to reach out.

From the moment I contacted Hack Buster Recovery, I was struck by their understanding of my situation. They were professional and compassionate, reassuring me that I wasn’t alone in this struggle.

Within just a few days, I received the news that would change everything: they had successfully recovered my Bitcoin! The relief I felt was indescribable. It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could finally breathe again. In such a tough time in my life, Hack Buster Recovery became a beacon of hope.

They will lift the burden off your shoulders, just as they did for me. In moments of chaos, trust me when I say that Hack Buster Recovery can be the difference between despair and hope.

'He has found that sweet spot': Hurricanes extend Ngane Punivai

Life can unravel in an instant. For me, that moment came when deceitful cryptocurrency brokers vanished with £40,000 of my savings, a devastating blow that left me paralyzed by shame and despair. The aftermath was a fog of sleepless nights, self-doubt, and a crushing sense of betrayal. I questioned every choice, wondering how I’d fallen for such a scheme. Hope felt like a luxury I no longer deserved. Then, Tech Cyber Force Recovery emerged like a compass in a storm. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out, half-expecting another dead end. What I found, however, was a team that radiated both expertise and empathy. From our first conversation, they treated my crisis not as a case file, but as a human tragedy. Their professionalism was matched only by their compassion, a rare combination in the often impersonal world of finance.

What happened next defied logic. Within 72 hours of sharing my story, they traced the labyrinth of blockchain transactions, outmaneuvering the scammers with surgical precision. When their email arrived, “Funds recovered, secure and intact,” I wept. It wasn’t just the money; it was the validation that justice could prevail. Tech Cyber Force Recovery didn’t just restore my finances, they resurrected my dignity. But their impact ran deeper. They demystified the recovery process, educating me without judgment. Their transparency became a lifeline, transforming my fear into understanding. Where I saw chaos, they saw patterns; where I felt powerless, they instilled agency. Today, I’m rebuilding not just my savings, but my trust in humanity. Tech Cyber Force Recovery taught me that vulnerability isn’t weakness, and that seeking help is an act of courage. To those still trapped in the aftermath of fraud: miracles exist. They wear no capes, but they wield algorithms and integrity like superheroes. To the extraordinary Tech Cyber Force Recovery team, your work is more than technical prowess. It’s alchemy, turning despair into resilience. You gave me more than my funds; you gave me my future. May your light guide countless others through their darkest nights. From the depths of my heart: Thank you.
