Three times in the last matches Sion has altered its defense to better adapt to the opponent. This flexibility shows that the coach understands modern football. In the last match against a defensive opponent, he employed an attacking formation that allowed numerous shots on goal.
In the first half against FC Lausanne at home, the Valaisans had 67% ball possession. This illustrates how dominant Sion was in the game. The passes were precise as well: the team achieved a pass accuracy of 85%.
A key to success is the rotation of the attacking players. Players like Winsley Boteli Mokango and J. Lukembila utilize their pace and technical advantage to penetrate the opposing defense. These movements allow the midfield to create space and engage in attack.
Considering defensive duties, the full-backs do not just stay back, but also support the offensive pressure. A variable defensive structure has been developed with them, which is particularly effective in counter-situations. The gameplay becomes dynamic depending on how the opponent acts.
