New Delhi, Feb 20: Real Kashmir’s Brazilian striker Tiago Adan has said that he is aiming to become the I-League’s top scorer, which eventually will help his side in winning the title in 2021-22 season of the tournament.
Real Kashmir FC enjoyed the perfect start to the I-League season as they defeated Aizawl FC in a thrilling encounter in the opening match week, before the tournament was postponed due to the Covid-19.
Forward Tiago, who bagged a brace for himself in that game against Aizawl, is looking forward to continuing the form and have a shot at winning the I-League as Real Kashmir will resume their campaign against recently promoted Kenkre FC on March 4.
“My focus is to be the top scorer in the championship, and with that, I will be helping the club to achieve their goals of winning the league as well. Both these things go hand in hand,” a confident Tiago said to i-league.org.
“I adapted to the club quickly and very easily. I was very well received by everyone in the club and I was extremely happy with that,” said the forward.
After having spent almost his entire career in Brazil to date, the 33-year-old felt motivated to take up a new challenge in India, something that will perhaps help him gain a better understanding of a different culture in both football and in life.
The 1.90-metre striker was pleased with the result that his team achieved in the opening game of the season, and will be looking to pick up right from where he left off. (IANS)
