Reto Ziegler talks about his comeback plans and praises Sion’s management
Four games, three wins: Newly promoted Sion couldn’t have started the season much better. Injured captain Reto Ziegler talks to blue Sport about his comeback plans and says what currently sets his team apart.
FC Sion beat Winterthur 2-0 on Saturday and are at the top of the table, at least overnight. And that despite captain Reto Ziegler being injured. He is eager to return because it is not easy for him to watch. “But I have a small problem with my adductors and above all I want to come back healthy and 100 percent fit. That’s why I have to be patient.”
With his next appearance, he will replace Walter Samuel as the oldest field player in the Super League. When will that be? “I hope as soon as possible,” says Ziegler, not really revealing his cards.
Ziegler believes that it is no coincidence that Sion has started the new season so strongly. “It is important that they have noticed what type of players we need. I don’t think we have any real stars in the team, I really believe that the team is the star. We fight for each other. The mentality is really very good.”
These are words of praise for the Constantins. Ziegler is also happy with Didier Tholot. “He is a great coach. We will do everything we can to ensure that he stays here as long as possible.” As long as Sion collects points as diligently as they did at the start of the season, there is no need for action. Things only get exciting in Valais if things don’t go so well…
