Sion boss relies on Yverdon case after Barrage defeat: Constantin now wants to go to civil court

class=”sc-29f61514-0 kHgAwW”>

In the margins of the SFV delegates’ meeting, it leaked: the Swiss football league has the will to allow Super League-promoted Yverdon-Sport to play in the Bieler Tissot Arena until their own Stade Municipal is rebuilt. That is not what Sion president Christian Constantin likes at all. But he has no power to take action at the league level.

“I’m already looking forward to this trial!”

“So I’m going to appeal to the civil court. I’m already looking forward to this legal battle because I will never let the league get away with the Yverdon case. Never!”

The background: Yverdon had only specified the Stade de Tourbillon in Sion as an alternative stadium in the license application. There was no mention of Biel. This only started to become a problem when Frédéric Favre, the Councilor of State of Valais, made it public that Yverdon had not asked the canton or the police for permission to organize the games and therefore the canton could not give permission.

Failure of the licensing commission and Yverdon

According to CC, this happened through Yverdon’s own fault. Yes, the people of Vaud led by director Marco Degennaro, friend and advisor of CC, would have tried to get through without permission, because they had no chance to provide the guarantees of about three million francs necessary for this solution . The licensing commission, chaired by the president, who was convicted of forgery and therefore resigned, completely failed.

The period of 24 hours to request information and/or requests has long passed. And because there have been no significant changes since the commission gave permission to play in Super League, the newly promoted player may not get the license. “We must never let Liga and Yverdon get away with this ‘Schlungg’,” said CC.

Once again the VAR is against Sion

And his own team? “This is shocked since the many wrong decisions by the referees and has lost all confidence. That is obvious. And that also continues in the first leg: while Yverdon’s first goal was not penalized for the previous foul on Zuffi, the VAR gave us 1:2 because of a similar scene. Everyone should make their own image whether this is still correct. »

Let’s put it this way: when Karlen intervened on Bamba, it’s not wrong to commit a foul. As for the Zuffi scene, there was certainly no usable footage on TV to prove the suspected violation. That’s why it went on. Again bad luck for Sion, but that does not justify the inappropriate performance of the Super League.

Why did they make Cibelli whistle?

The appointment of the referee is not bad luck, but almost an insult to Sion. The fact that, from the point of view of Blick referee expert Urs Meier, the fact that Luca Cibelli, who completely unjustly withdrew the penalty kick in favor of Sion after a hand by a Winterthur player a month ago, should almost be taken as a provocation. In any case, calming de-escalation looks different. In French-speaking Switzerland, the appointment only caused a shake of the head.

CC fatalistic

So now Zion stands on the brink. The step to the Challenge League is very small. Worried about the CC? “I’m in my last year. Whether I finish it all in the Super League or in the Challenge League doesn’t change much. I have to terminate contracts and close everything. We’ve come to the end here.” At the same time, CC emphasizes that there is always hope. And refers to the cup final in which Sion caught up at halftime. But there is a lot of fatalism in it. Is that the right morale boost for CC’s counted team?
