“Bought in such a way that he scores twenty goals…”: Sports director Constantin turns away from Balotelli

class=”sc-29f61514-0 jbwksb”>

Somehow Anto Grgic is the symbol of the confused club leadership. At the start of the season, the Zurich player is captain under Paolo Tramezzani and placed unconditionally. He is also placed under Fabio Celestini, but he makes Mario Balotelli captain. David Bettoni then leaves Grgic out in half of his ten games. Until Tramezzani comes back. But then it’s too late…

The captain holds his ground after the bitter descent, which should never have happened with people of Anto Grgic’s caliber. He says: “It’s a difficult moment for the club. So at this point a big apology to the whole region, to all of Sitten, to all of Valais. But you have to be honest: we were one of the weaker teams. Why the descent deserved.”

Nothing is normal in the difficult FC Sion

Clear words. strong words. And a Freudian mistake that may have happened because it is. Grgic first said: “A very, very difficult club.” Instead of “a moment”. Because this is a difficult club, FC Sion. And how! And if Grgic says you have to switch off now, after this nasty experience that does exist in football, and then stand with your head held high and attack again, that’s kind of the normality scenario.

But nothing is normal in this difficult club. Then the president announced that he would retire from professional sports in a year. That certainly doesn’t make it easy to think as Grgic tries to do: “Yes, of course. In general, a lot of things happened this season that are not optimal for success. For example, the change of coach. But in the end it happened because of us, because we didn’t perform well. Mr. Constantin will make his decisions. There will be consequences. But we have to live with that.”

Sports director Barthélémy Constantin is also his man, but refers to his father, the president, when it comes to the question of the future. “If you want to know what he’s up to, ask him. Not me.” He’s not Christian Constantin…

“We made a lot of mistakes,” says CC junior self-critically. “Especially in the last few months. We made mistakes in terms of transfers, with the many changes of coach, physical preparation and player management.” One of the mistakes must have been the transfer of Mario Balotelli, for whom Barth Constantin was addicted. That enthusiasm is gone. “I don’t want to pillory individuals. But when you bring in a player who scores 20 goals and he scores five, you can’t be satisfied…”

“It’s a shitty situation!”

Clear words to the Italo eccentric, who brought Zion nothing at all. Except fear. And fall into the abyss. “It’s a shitty situation!” concludes Barth Constantin. Where he is right, he is right.
