He credits his contributions to the team’s strong defensive record, highlighting his role in thwarting counter-attacks and minimizing errors.
While he cherishes his league shield win with Mumbai City, citing the opportunity to play in the AFC Champions League alongside renowned players like Ronaldo and Neymar as a particularly significant highlight, Apuia considers his current team’s success equally important.
