Odio las despedidas ... Pensé que esto no sucedería tan pronto pero es hora de decir adiós al Chennai City Fc. Fue más que un año grandioso en el que hicimos historia ganando la I-league. Ha sido un honor representar este club como capitán. Solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento a los aficionados del CCFC que se han convertido en mi familia. Ha sido una decisión difícil, pero esto es fútbol y dejo la india para empezar una nueva aventura en Japón. . Muchas gracias
