ISL 2022-23: Kerala Blasters FC are the biggest club in India; I’ve waited for three years to join them: Victor Mongil

 

Kerala Blasters FC’s new signing Victor Mongil has termed the club as the biggest club in India and said that he was waiting to join the team for three years. Mongil made his Hero ISL debut in the 2019-20 season and also went on to win the trophy with ATK FC.

Subsequently, he played for Odisha FC in the previous season. The 29-year-old Spaniard believes Kerala Blasters is one of the biggest clubs in India because of their huge fan support.

The Spaniard had an impressive season for Odisha FC and thus he was able to make a dream move to the Tuskers.

“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, are the biggest club in India because of their support and love of the fans,” Mongil was quoted as saying on the Star Spotlight with Khuri Irani show on the Kerala Blasters FC’s Instagram page.

“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 for this new chapter and I can’t wait to play my first game in front of our fans at Kochi,” he added.

Mongil added that he is feeling the love of the fans ahead of the new season and he will look to give his best.

“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,” he said.

Mongil has the experience of 28 matches in two seasons in the Hero ISL and has an impressive passing accuracy of 80.78 in the tournament.

Mongil is impressed with the club’s hunger to do well in the competition.

“I like the project as Kerala Blasters FC want to always fight for the top position and every player wants to be part of such big projects,” he said. “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,” added Mongil.
