“It's a great emotion especially when you walk out in front of a full house. The fans give us the extra drive to entertain them and get us the results and enjoy the game. We have played in the biggest derby in Asia and it was an amazing feeling,” Petrtatos said during the show’s first episode of the new season.

“The foreign players have said that the Mohun Bagan SG fans could be one of the best in the world with the passion and the love they give us,” he added.

Petratos also spoke about his recent contract extension with the club that will keep him at the club till 2026.

“Extending my contract was a no-brainer. I said I am not going to sign for any other team. I wanted to stay here. I have enjoyed my time here. The most important thing when I came to India was that I wanted to enjoy my football and I certainly have,” he said during the show.

The 31-year-old has developed strong relations with some of his Indian teammates and spoke glowingly about them.

“Anirudh Thapa is like a little animal in the middle of the park. He has got the skills, but he works hard. We call Manvir Singh the Cristiano Ronaldo of India. He is a workhorse, he is very professional and scores goals. There's a lot more to come from him,” he said.
