On the sidelines of the derby, the boss of FC Sion spoke at length with Souleymane Cissé, the disputed sports director of LS. And this is what he told her…

At Tourbillon, Sion played badly but won sparsely 1-0 once morest the still defeated Lausanne residents – ninth loss in a row (editor’s note: eight in the league to which is added the elimination in the Cup) even though they delivered their best performance of 2022 by far. However, this was insufficient to interrupt the black series.
For their host, the final whistle sounded like a deliverance, the promise of an almost assured maintenance in the elite, all at the end of a sort of non-match. “The guys were traumatized, paralyzed by what we’ve been through over the past two years, admits Christian Constantin, aware of the psychological dimension surrounding such an appointment. It’s definitely our worst game of the season. But we won it!”
“I told him that nothing was ever really over until the end and that we had to fight constantly”
Wednesday evening, the boss of FC Sion found himself in deep discussion with Souleymane Cissé, whose resignation is still demanded by the ultras. What did the two men say to each other? We collected CC’s version. “I told him that nothing was ever really over until the end and that you had to fight constantly. I too had these periods of difficulty from which we do not always know how to get out.
“Six points behind while there are 36 left in play, it’s catching up”
For Christian Constantin, the situation of the red lantern, relegated today to 6 points from Lucerne, is certainly perilous but not yet hopeless… This is what he repeated to his interlocutor from Vaud. “If I was them, I wouldn’t give up. Six points behind while there are 36 left in play, it is catching up. I already had more than six points on the penultimate at that time of the season and we got away with it. In the case of LS, it would be enough to score 20% more points than Lucerne.”
commando operation
Will Lausanne manage to implement the advice of the Valais boss on Saturday with the reception of the leader? “His players have to behave like men. This is not the time to unload on others but to mount a commando operation. Not to mention that sooner or later Zurich will lose points and that Lucerne has not yet won in Bern…” End of presidential predictions.
