Kerala Blasters FC defender Victor Mongil revealed that it was a dream of his for the last three years to join the club. Mongil won the Hero Indian Super League with ATK FC and has always been an admirer of the club especially the support and fashion of the fans. He had a solid season with Odisha FC which paved the way for his move to Kerala Blasters FC.
“I have been lucky to play for some really top clubs in ATK FC and Odisha FC but for me, this move was the best because Kerala Blasters FC, for me, is the biggest club in India because of their support and love of the fans,” Kerala Blasters defender Victor Mongil said. “I’ve been waiting for three years for this (chance to play for Kerala Blasters FC) but now it’s a reality. I am very excited about this new chapter and I can’t wait to play my first game in front of our fans at Kochi. The fans’ welcome has been unbelievable. My social media for the last 4-5 days has been on fire. The fans for sure will be our 12th man this season. I have never played in Kochi and I am looking forward to it. I will give my 100% on the pitch and hopefully, we will win something.”
“I like the project as Kerala Blasters FC wants to always fight for the top position and every player wants to be part of such big projects,” he added. “Last season was great but we want to continue in the same way. The new season presents us with another opportunity to play in a final. So we want to keep fighting till we reach another final. Last season, when I faced Kerala Blasters FC, I could see a bond like a family at KBFC.”
