“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.
