From East Bengal to BAA Field, former India international Fredy Mascarenhas has vowed to add some extra spice to Robin Hood’s attack once he regains his match fitness.Despite playing with a slight ankle injury, the powerful striker displayed some neat touches and clever interplay in Hood’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to North Village at BAA on Saturday night.It was only the 30-year-old’s second competitive game since quitting professional football in his homeland to migrate to Bermuda in 2009, where he now works for a cleaning company.While satisfied with his pair of performances in a Hood jersey, Mascarenhas believes there’s plenty more to come from him and pledged to return stronger and fitter for the start of next season.“It’s been strange for me because I haven’t played for so long,” said Mascarenhas, who played for East Bengal and Sporting Clube de Goa in the I-League.“It’s been a few years but it’s a great feeling to be back on the field. I was not fully fit, I hadn’t had much training so it was difficult for me.”Mascarenhas, who hopes to have his work permit renewed in July, reckons the biggest difference between Bermudian and Indian football is the level of professionalism, or lack thereof, with the majority of players back home full-time.“The only real difference between Bermuda football and Indian football is that there’s more professionalism over there,” said Mascarenhas, who made his Hood debut against PHC earlier this month.“Football is bread and butter for India footballers, it’s all they concentrate on. Over here the players have to work and can’t always train. For me, football was a full-time job in India; I do miss that. However, I think Bermuda are much higher placed in the FIFA World Rankings, so this will be a good thing for me.”Mascarenhas, who had spoken to Shaun Goater about the possibility of signing for Village earlier in the season, said One Bermuda Alliance MP, Mark Pettingill, put him in touch with Hood’s former president, Paul Scope, after discovering his footballing past.“I was doing some work for Mark Pettingill; I talked to his wife, she asked me what I used to do in India and I told her I was a professional footballer. She told Mark and he spoke to Paul Scope, who invited me to train with Robin Hood. The very next day they asked to sign me, and I got registered with the Bermuda Football Association. I’m now looking forward to next season.”
