Pietro Fusimidfielder of Padua, scored his first goal in the championship yesterday (after the one in the Coppa Itali Serie C against Lumezzane last November), promoting the success of the biancoscudati against Pergolettese. In the press room, the class of 1998 declared: “Finally, we also needed a bit of luck to score. I’m happy, we’re back to winning in front of our fans and now we’re heading to the Italian Cup final. At first I thought they had given me some macumba since I just couldn’t score, now I’m a little more relieved. The important thing was to bring home the 3 points. We need to lock down the 2nd place to recharge the batteries for a moment after the last month. Personally, I’m happy to have done well today and I hope I gave a signal to the coach. You always have to question yourself. Unfortunately my girlfriend wasn’t there today but she was the first to text me when I returned to the locker room. Now the main objective is to win the cup, it’s in a few days. Then we will need to recharge our mental energies and secure 2nd place. The fact that there won’t be an audience on Tuesday can be a help for us, but the atmosphere will not be like a final and this will influence the match.”
