Mumbai City FC’s striker Vikram Partap Singh said his father had a dream for him to make it big outside Punjab. Singh has been in sensational form for the Islanders in the ongoing Indian Super League as he has scored eight goals and has provided three assists in the 21 games he has played.
The 22-year-old youngster has ticked the right boxes for Petr Kratky’s team and has played a key role in the success of the club.
“In India, the front three must be comfortable to play in any of the attacking positions,” Vikram Partap Singh said in an interview with Scroll.
He continued, “Because it’s difficult for you to be put in as the striker. Mostly all the Indian strikers play as wingers.”
Singh suffered a huge blow in January when his father passed away after a silent heart attack.
“I still haven’t handled it,” he said.
“It was very difficult for me because I started playing football because of him. More than scoring goals, I used to be happy because I would speak to him after the match,” he added.
He shared, “My father played all his football within the state, so he had a dream for me to make it big outside Punjab.”
The youngster added he is still learning as a player and wants to keep improving at the top level.
He said, “I’m still the same player I was three months ago when I was not scoring,”
“Just because I have scored a few goals doesn’t mean I have matured. There’s still a lot to learn. That feeling, that I have scored so now I can relax, I need to get rid of that.” he added.
Mumbai City FC took a 3-2 advantage against FC Goa in the first-leg semifinal. The second-leg semifinal will be played at the Mumbai Football Arena, Mumbai on Monday.
