The defender further said that he will dedicate the Hero I-League win to the fans. "If we win the Hero I-League, it will be for the fans. They have been our support and have cheered for us through thick and thin. They deserve to be rewarded and we are striving on giving this gift to our fans."
But certainly, it will be tough as the Kolkata outfit face defending champions Aizawl FC in their opening fixture of the campaign. "Every team in the Hero I-League presents its own challenges. No team is easy and every team plays to win. The challenge for us is to outplay them and secure the results"
"The pressure is always there when you play at the highest level but if we win a couple of our opening matches and gather maximum points, we can breathe a little."
"We have to take one match at a time and at the same time aim for a win in every match we play including the away fixtures", Mondal stated.
