Michael Chopra finally got his first goal in the Indian Super League. It was a long wait, and judging by his celebration, he wanted it desperately too. Against Mumbai City, he finally played like he cared, and it showed in his movement off the ball.

That is one narrative. The other one is of an overweight footballer, past his prime, slow on the turn and often slowing down Kerala’s attacks in the final third. Would Kerala Blasters have signed him if he didn’t have Indian roots and his blond hair? Debatable, very much so.

He also did a Ronaldo on the touchline, urging the players on after he was substituted. Well, not getting booed off helps.
