Here is what he had to say on..
His time at Hyderabad FC so far…
It is an honour for me to be a part of Hyderabad FC. We are one-time ISL Champions and I feel really happy to be here. Everyone welcomed me well here, the players, the coaches and staff, everyone is really helpful and I am happy to be helping the team improve every day.
On his role in the squad…
I am more of an attacking player. But when the team needs you to do a certain job and the coach trusts you with it, it is then on the player to go out and perform well. It is our job to prove the coach right, and show him that I am available to play in a more defensive role. I am happy that the coach shows trust in me and I want to repay it, work hard for the team and put in a strong performance.

On the season so far…
I think we always fought hard till the final whistle in almost every game this season. But we have not done well enough and are not where we want to be in the points table. We know that it is important that we keep improving every day and in every game. The results haven’t been great for us but I think we still have time to turn things around. This is what everyone at the club is currently focused on.
On the next challenge in hand…
Our focus is always to get the three points, no matter the team we face. Even on tough days, we want to come out of the pitch with at least a point and this is our mentality when we go into every game. We will keep fighting for a win and it will be the same tomorrow against Bengaluru as well.
