“This club is like family to me.” - Brison Fernandes on FC Goa

While talking to Sportskeeda.com, Brison Fernandes said: “I started my career at Salgaocar FC when I was maybe 12 or 13 years old. I played U14 football there for two years, and then for a year, I was without a club. I was only playing local tournaments. Then coach Deggie (Cardozo) brought me over here (at FC Goa), and I'm very thankful to him. From then onwards, I'm chasing my dreams.”

“I used to love watching (Edu) Bedia and (Ahmed) Jahouh when I was on the FC Goa development team. I like their playing style a lot and have learned a lot from them too. Edu is a great player and a great person, and he helps me a lot. Not only that, he is the engine of our team. Given the experience he has in the ISL, he guides us a lot,” Fernandes added.

“This club is like family to me. They've given me everything I wanted. I am very thankful to the club and all the coaches as well. Yes, of course, we're trying our best, and we're working well. But the results aren't going our way. We'll move forward with the same rhythm, and whatever it is, we'll make it to the playoffs. I want to be a better player and a better person. Work hard and have a part in the starting lineup. Hopefully, I can score more goals and get more assists, whatever the team needs,” Brain Fernandes concluded.
