It’s a secret command thing! Not that Mario Balotelli (32) is not physically in order. Anyone who watches an FC Sion match can see that. It looks like Wallis is one man less on the field with Balo.

No, it’s a secret where Balotelli was sent to work on his form. “Somewhere in German-speaking Switzerland,” says Sion boss Christian Constantin, CC for short. And: it is not the OYM of EVZ chairman Hans-Peter Strebel, CC ends attempts to guess the location.

Moaning and infantile postures

The idea of ​​the camp: make Super Mario super again. “It was a camp to finally get in shape,” says CC. And has the presidential measure paid off? After all, Sion took their first win in Lucerne in almost half a year. But the truth is that Balo still moves far too little. And his moans are becoming more and more unbearable, as is the infantile attitude that led FCL coach Mario Frick to say: “Balotelli should have been booked four times. At least. But apparently superstars also enjoy the freedom of fools in Switzerland.”

While CC speaks clearly about the complaints (“he shouldn’t get so upset”), he goes on to protect his star: “Balotelli is attacked in every scene. These are almost murders. You step on his knuckles relentlessly. It’s hard there. ” Well, it’s not that extreme, and God knows Balo has had enough of that in his long career for him to be looked out for. And then taking revenge on FCL teen Luca Jaquez (19) in such a stupid way is not okay.

CC wants to see decent offensive play

Above all, it does not change the fact that Balotelli still does not contribute enough. ‘But he did what I asked of him. I am happy with him”, says coach David Bettoni. Meanwhile, CC has discovered that with such anti-play as in Lucerne, it becomes difficult to involve Balotelli in the attacking game in a meaningful way. “The coach has to work on that. I want to see a sensible game in the future.”

Because Balotelli picked up his eighth yellow card in the 15th game in Lucerne, he was suspended against Servette on Saturday. So that would have been the opportunity to put Balo back in camp. “He will probably continue his special training to get to the required level physically. But with the team.”

The next Balo check is on April 16

So also for Balo there will be another fresh and cheerful egg hunt at Easter. And we are already looking forward to the next Balo check. On April 16 in Zurich against GC.
