    DENMARK

    FRANCE
    Paris Saint-Germain FC were again disappointing at home in their 1-1 draw with SC Bastia in a tense French first division game on Sunday. PSG began the match looking tired and uninspired and only seemed to react once they found themselves a goal down, former France striker Lilian Laslandes having opened the scoring for the Corsicans in the 57th minute. The host's pressure paid off when Brazilian defender Paulo Cesar equalised on 77 minutes as Bastia were briefly down to ten men while defender Mickael Essien was treated for an injury off the pitch. Alex Nyarko (PSG) did not play due to injury

    Division 2
    (from Eric VINCENT in France) -- Ibrahim Razak played last Friday against Metz and the final score was 1-1. After the last two matches, he's asked to be made more of a striker. The title of a French Saint-Etienne newspaper was : "I want to play like Zidane". But it was an analysis of a journalist !!! So, probably, RAZAK wants to play like a number 10.

    The manager of Saint-Etienne, Alain BOMPARD, said : "The adaptation of RAZAK was good but we don't know if we will buy this player at the end of the season. The fans of Saint-Etienne were happy to see the player. We have an exlusive buy option for this player."
