1. Your experience about playing in Indian League ?
Ans: My experience so far has been very good, in this career there're good times and bad times. I am glad to have been able to contribute positively in clubs and Indian Football. Though not a smooth ride always but it has been enjoyable.
2. Your best moment in Football Career so far
?
Ans: My best moment till now was lifting the I-league 2nd division trophy as the captain of TRUA FC. I've had many good moments in my career but that was the best. Hope to create more beautiful moments.
3. Which Indian player you liked the most ?
Ans: I like Sana a lot, I have played against him in pre-season friendly games in Manipur. He is tough at same time calm and composed with the ball. I like him the most for his humility, very humble and meek nature.
4. You scored total 21 goals in India so which goal was the best you think ?
Ans: I have scored many unrecorded beautiful goals that I still picture in my head. But for the recorded ones my best till now is my goal against East Bengal in Imphal. I took the risk to challenge the goalkeeper and eventually scored a fine header.
5. Your views on Indian Football structure....
Ans: I think they're doing better now, bringing new rules that will help the development like the foreigners rule and the relegation-promotion rule in the ISL that will be implemented soon. What is left now is the involvement of state leagues into the structure, a lot of state leagues have been dead even before the pandemic due poor management and organisation thus limiting the platform for youngsters.
6. Any message for Your fans from India?
Ans: To everyone who loves and support me. Thank you so much. I had a difficult time this past season, which was not related to my performance but I assure you all that I will be back, better and more dangerous this coming season. Please Stay Safe.
