PARIS Cheap NBA Jerseys China , Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Bordeaux coach Willy Sagnol Thursday apologized for his comments on African players earlier this week but defended himself "not a racist".
The former Monaco, Bayern Munich and France defender was reported Tuesday to have suggested in an interview with Bordeaux newspaper Sud-Ouest's readers that African players lack " intelligence and discipline".
"If my lack of clarity or my imperfect semantics hurt or offended people, I'm sorry. I've never had any problems with anyone. Those were purely about sports but it was made into something political," said Sagnol at a pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's Bordeaux-Lens Ligue 1 tie.
"When I spoke about cheaper Africans who are ready to fight, I was simply talking about the young African players who arrive in Europe with all the will to succeed and often escaping a bad situation Cheap NBA Jerseys , " he said. "We were in a sports debate and so the intelligence which I referred to is to do with tactics."
"A lack of financial resources or infrastructure means African training is not as comprehensive as that provided in Europe and so they compensate for that through hard work. I didn't want to talk about intelligence in the sense of individuals," added the 37-year- old.
Lens coach Antoine Kombouare, however, was not satisfied with Sagnol's apology. "Let's make things clear: This is not a case of him being clumsy. He's really messed up," he said. "What he said is serious. It's unacceptable."
The one who defended Sagnol by saying he's clumsy was Bordeaux captain Lamine Sane. The Senegal international talked to French radio: "He doesn't have any twisted ideas. He believes in all the black players in the team. We believe in him and we hope to go very far with him."
The League of French Professional football (LFP) released a two- paragraph statement from president Frederic Thiriez Cheap Sports Jerseys , saying he considers "this case to be closed" following Sagnol's apology.
Sagnol, who took in charge of the French top-flight side this summer, made some extraordinary comments generalizing African players and announce that they're not welcome to Bordeaux.
"There will be a lot less African players signing for Bordeaux because I don't want to find myself with 12 players who, every two years, leave for a couple of months Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping ," said the boss, referring to the Africa Cup of Nations.
"The advantage of an African player is that he's cheap when you get him, ready to fight, but football isn't just about that," continued Sagnol. "It's also about technique Cheap Jerseys Wholesale , intelligence, and discipline. You need to have it all."
Bordeaux, now on the fourth position of the league table with a deficit of seven points away from the leaders Marseille, currently has six African players in the first team.
Five people died in a fiery plane crash on Kauai Monday morning, officials said.
The small plane crashed about 9:30 a.m. during a skydiving tour just outside Port Allen Airport Cheap Jerseys From China , the Kauai Fire Department said in a statement. The pilot, two skydive instructors and two tandem jumpers were believed to be in the plane.
Four of them were pronounced dead at the scene and one man was taken to Wilcox Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The National Transportation Safety Board will work with officials to determine the cause of the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor initially said it was a single-engine plane made from a kit. However, he later said he received wrong information. Details about the plane involved in the crash weren't immediately available.
Officials asked the public to avoid the area.
Crystallization is a complex multi-phase mass transfer involving heat transfer, momentum transfer and reaction process Cheap Jerseys China , as separation and purification methods of inorganic and organic matter, its theory and crystal technology has been developed. Crystallization is an important chemical unit operation, is an interdisciplinary separation and production technologies, 20 years in the international arena has made some progress.
Magnetic field is a field with a special energy. This energy function can change in the material microstructure, which affect the physical and chemical properties of substances. Solution by the magnetic field Cheap Jerseys , the molecular barrier, molecular cohesion of change would inevitably lead to the macroscopic nature of the fluid changes, which affect the solution of the crystallization process.
Donaldson and so a magnetic field on the crystallization of water, studies show that magnetic water treatment increased the size of crystalline particles, the total sediment reduction.
Lauren studied the process of evaporation and crystallization As2O3 magnetic effect Cheap NBA Basketball Jerseys , magnetic effect of the solution crystallization process of evaporation rate of 5% to 10% of the crystal structure and chemical composition of As2O3 had no effect on the impact of particle size depends on aging process.
Savannah and so a magnetic field on the crystallization of sodium carbonate, found in a certain magnetic field, the solution of the nucleation rate and crystal growth rate has greatly improved, the presence of sodium bicarbonate crystals in a magnetic field Kinetic studies have shown that the magnetization in the appropriate conditions, the average crystal size increased 10% to 30% Cheap Basketball Jerseys , crystal formation increased by 20% -200%.
In the study also found that after a certain field of permanent magnetic field by adding a certain amount of methanol in the 666 powder, immediately generating crystal, while the 666 will be equivalent to not by the magnetic powder handling the same amount of methanol, then completely dissolved and no crystals appear.
