*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
“In Europe, some people speak about India like it is a strange place or some world but when I came here, I was very surprised in a positive way and everything started very nicely. The team accepted me and made me feel at home and the results also picked up soon after. I can say that this is the first time it feels like the club is one really big family and I'm happy to be here.”
