‘How Balotelli behaves is a no-go’

Central to the discussions in Lucerne is again Mario Balotelli (32). The Sion striker is pulled back by the shirt after a good half hour and therefore loses his cool. He is warned for a derogatory gesture, whereupon he throws his hands in the direction of the referee and swears in Italian. But Ref Fedayi San lets mercy prevail. Later, with Max Meyer from Lucerne, who was thrown off the field for an unsportsmanlike gesture towards the referee, not anymore. Sion wins 2-1 thanks to a goal at the last minute.

How Balotelli reacted is not okay, says Blick expert Urs Meier. “World-class players behave differently.” For the former top referee it is clear: the Italian should have been thrown off the field – with yellow-red or even direct dismissal. “How Balotelli behaves, and not for the first time, can not.” It is extremely difficult for a referee to act, says Meier. “We need to talk to him internally. What he’s doing is a no-go.”

Schneider fouls Kryeziu

There are also discussions in St. Gallen. The scene just before half-time, when Randy Schneider won the ball against Mirlind Kryeziu before St. Gallen made it 1-1, is controversial. The goal should not have counted for Meier. “The attack trigger came about with a violation. You see that Schneider only goes to the man.”

In any case, from Meier’s point of view, the VAR should have intervened and referee Wolfensberger should have taken another look at the scene. But he didn’t, which drove Blerim Dzemaili crazy. “This referee is ridiculous,” the FCZ midfielder scolded in an interview with Blue. The match ended 2:2.
