Atletico de Kolkata star Borja Fernandez aware of worldwide HeroISL interest

Atletico de Kolkata star Borja Fernandez is aware of the big interest in the Hero Indian Super League around the world.

Borja was one of the stars of the opening game in Atletico's victory over Mumbai City FC.

He told AS: "Yes, we are aware of what has been published and what has been said because we've seen it on social media. It's not just our families and friends who have been awaiting our matches. People are talking about it on Twitter and Facebook and that brings us joy. On the Internet there are news stories about the Indian Super League and we know that many people are watching our matches. It's nice.

"There are two months of very intense competition, with many games in a row. There are semi-finals and a final and everyone wants to play in it. I have a contract with Atlético de Kolkata until December, which is just after the Super League finishes. Then we will see what happens."
