Padova surrendered 1-3 to the chinese champions of Beijing in a friendly game. “No matter the result, today’s game was important for the boys to get a game under their belt – said coach Baldovin – We’ve only started a few days ago to train on our fundamentals, so it was clear we would not have been brilliant. Still, there were some positive notes, many of the boys have already got an understanding from previous seasons. This will help the new signing to settle in”.
