Vilas-----mate mate mate
Please re read my post particularly the underlined bold part where I stated with emphasis I was speaking of during the flare manoeuvre. No where did I say to start the side slip earlier, a technique I have seen on conventional aircraft but not on Airbus FBW. I don't use that technique myself either.
Eaelier I posted the A330 FCTM reference to crosswind technique which I do follow quite well even in gusty typhoons as per Airbus and company policy/training, so I'm not using my old 777 737 747 experience. ( although they are indeed the same )
Cheers
