==Style of play== Padoin has been praised by his managers for his work-rate, consistency, tactical intelligence, and versatility, as he is capable of playing in several positions, and adapting himself to different formations. Although he usually plays anywhere in midfield, throughout his career he has also been deployed in defence, as a full-back, as a central defender, and as a wing-back. A box-to-box player, he has also functioned as a central midfielder, as a ''mezzala'', defensive midfielder, as an offensive midfielder, and as a winger.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.calcioblog.it/post/426838/cosa-vede-allegri-in-simone-padoin|title=Cosa vede Allegri in Simone Padoin|publisher=www.calcioblog.it|language=Italian|author1=Franco Balestrieri|date=29 November 2014|accessdate=17 November 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-b/ascoli-padoin-mezzala-il-mio-ruolo-ma-il-mister-mi-fara-giocare-terzino-1290744 |title=Ascoli, Padoin: "Mezzala il mio ruolo, ma il mister mi farà giocare terzino" |publisher=TuttoMercatoWeb |language=Italian |last1=Conti |first1=Dimitri |date=12 September 2019 |accessdate=16 April 2020 }}</ref>
