“I have been playing for Chennaiyin FC since 2016 as a centre midfielder and the journey has been amazing,” Thapa said while speaking to indiansuperleague.com.

“Football, I think for me, is everything. My life, my career because football is what I breathe now. When I get it’s football, I sleep with football,” Thapa added.

Former player and now commentator Darren Caldeira showered praise on Thapa, stating he is a massive player for his club.

“I think he’s a massive player, a huge player for Chennaiyin FC. Just closely watch Anirudh Thapa on the pitch, he’s constantly talking to the players and making sure everything is going according to what the coach wants. So, I think he’s a big, big player for Chennaiyin FC,” stated former player and commentator Darren Caldeira.

Thomas Brdaric, the current head coach of Chennaiyin FC, revealed he loves Thapa’s style of play and added that he is always looking to improve his game in the training sessions.

“I love his style. He should also try to improve every day and in each game, how he can be the best player. He’s a special player with extraordinary abilities,” Chennaiyin FC head coach Thomas Brdaric expressed.
