Today the manita, tomorrow no fusion. On the last day of the Serie C group B championship, Padova Femminile won 5-0 over the already safe Villorba, took twelfth place in the standings and closed a tired and decidedly tormented season with a smile. At Vermigli, Plechero scored twice in the first half, then Dal Fra, Rizzioli and Martinuzzi scored. This is the result, because the most interesting “match” this week was played off the pitch.
The merger between Padova Femminile and Cittadella Women, believed to have taken place in the city and in the province in recent days, has definitively failed. Despite the telephone contacts and various live meetings between the Granata president Doris Zeudi and the Biancoscudato number 1 Massimo Mingardi to delve deeper and lay the foundations for the definition of the issue, it seems that something didn’t go right at the checkered flag, also at the push of the municipal administration, reports Il Mattino di Padova, which would not have liked to lose its reference reality in women’s football.
The merger between the two realities would have mainly involved the two first teams, while the youth sectors would have remained separate and autonomous. The news, which began circulating in the middle of last week, complete with the diffusion of the logo in rendering of the new hypothetical reality, did not leave mister Pepato’s girls indifferent and, as reported by the Gazzettino, before the match against the Treviso team they wanted to express their their thoughts through the words of the well-known song by Umberto Marcato on this probable merger of teams. The quotes? Easy: “Whoever has seen Padua can never forget it”, but above all “I have never betrayed you”. A clear message on how Captain Fabbruccio and his teammates experienced this probable merger between two footballing realities that have always been rivals. In the end nothing is done and the match against Villorba was not the last match for Padova Femminile. There remains a future ahead that is difficult to scrutinize at the moment: if we want a winning future, and not one that tends towards the future, we hope for greater organization and patience compared to the last three years
