XtraTime Web Desk: After signing for Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters FC in the 2020/21 season, young Nishu Kumar’s aim is to cement his place in the first XI during next ISL.
In an instagram chat session on Friday with Ishfaq Ahmed, Kumar revealed his goals for the next ISL season,”I have to fight for my position in the first team. My personal goal is to be a regular in the team. I want to win the trophy and want to play in the AFC competitions in the future.”
Nishu is confident that he won’t face any problem in adopting head coach Kibu Vicuna’s style of play after having discussed the same with the Spaniard.”I spoke with Kibu about tactics, I feel like I played a similar style before so it would be easier for me to adapt to his football.”
He spent five seasons with Benglauru based ISL side Bengaluru FC. On being asked why he left BFC, Nishu said,”I am feeling super excited. I am very happy. I spoke with the Blasters officials and they told me they have plans for the future and that they are building a good team.
“I wanted to face a new challenge – how I can survive in a new team. And it is Kerala, everyone wants to play for Kerala Blasters.”
He is also eager to play in front of packed Kerala Blasters crowd.”Kerala Blasters fanbase is huge, they are loving, I am excited to play in front of them. I have already received so many messages from them. I can’t wait (to get started),” Nishu said.
