Meanhwile, the fixture list came out yesterday and Padova will start away from home with a trip to Ravenna. Padova will play three of the first four rounds away and the derby against Bassano will come at the ninth round.

“I am very satisfied – said coach Bernardi about the team the club put together – I collaborated with Stefano Santuz during the whole market window and it’s been great because we have the same ideas. Thanks to the great ability of the sport director, things could not have gone any better. We will have a lot of enthusiasm, the important thing is that this enthusiasm does not turn into arrogance. Our team will not be “arrogant2, we will have maximum respect for every single opponent”.
