Did Mario Balotelli play his last game for FC Sion at the Stade de Geneve on Saturday? “Super Mario” did not live up to its nickname in the Rhône Derby. When the score was 0:3, he was replaced by his chairman. Former Nati assistant Michel Pont compared the Italian to a zombie after the 5-0 defeat.
FC Sion has had a new coach since Tuesday. With three games to go before the end of the season, Paolo Tramezzani has the task of saving the Valais team from relegation.
“I spoke to Mario on the phone”
Mario Balotelli, on the other hand, is absent at the beginning of this week. “He had been given special leave by the club and will be back on Thursday,” said the new coach. “I spoke to him on the phone and made him feel good. He’s glad I’m back.”
Paolo Tramezzani has not yet decided on Balotelli’s future at Sion. “I spoke to the club about it, which gave me the freedom to choose. I have yet to meet Mario. I will need every player. No player is more important than another. I expect a lot from my team, who now have to prove their will. It’s important to know who I can rely on. I am willing to make the right decisions regardless of player performance. Today it’s more important than ever, we only have three games left to save ourselves.”
Grgic captain again
Will Balotelli be kicked out of the team? Thats not sure. Paolo Tramezzani recalls the successful collaboration with the Italian: “Mario has given us a lot. Last summer he brought enthusiasm and a new conviction to the team. Mario’s performance under me was good, also statistically.” The attacker scored five of his six goals for Sion under Tramezzani (in nine games).
The coach only gives a hint for Sunday’s game against YB. «Anto Grgic was and will be my captain. With Kevin Fickentscher as Vice.” The goalkeeper has started training again after his injury: “We will decide spontaneously whether he can keep his place.”
So Balotelli is off the bracelet – is he even still on the Sion team? The decision will be made at the end of this week.
