Paolo Tramezzani met the press mid-afternoon at the Stade de Tourbillon ahead of the two play-off matches. It was an opportunity to talk about the two decisive matches ahead.
The 3 statements to remember from the press conference:
Paolo Tramezzani on the importance of the fans:
"My best games here are the ones where the fans have responded. Sometimes, even at difficult times. Our supporters are great, they're always there. The club's action is very interesting and we hope that as many people as possible will be behind us on Saturday. We need to have more confidence in ourselves and give them love in return. We know what a big responsibility we have over the next two games."
Paolo Tramezzani, on the important factor and preparation:
"These two games are not league games. They're separate games. It makes no difference whether the first game is at home or away. The first goal will be even more important in this double encounter. We have to see it as two 90-minute halves. The head will be the most important factor. Mental toughness will be crucial. We'll have to stay determined for 4 days. At the players' request, we got together this morning and will stay together until Sunday.
Paolo Tramezzani on Stade Lausanne Ouchy:
"We analysed our match against St. Gallen very well. It's also useful for us because Stade Lausanne Ouchy has a profile quite similar to that of St. Gallen, with a fast, transitional game. A number of people have been keeping an eye on our potential play-off opponents. SLO left a good impression. They fully deserve to be here. We know how important this match is for them, but above all for us. We know what we have to do and how to do it. We'll have to be at our best in every aspect of the game.
Sion take on Stade Lausanne Ouchy this Saturday at 18:00 at Tourbillon!
