The joy of a beautiful solo move to register his first-ever goal for his new club was all over the 27-year old’s face as he sat down for an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, a few days after Kerala Blasters’ 5-1 victory over Hyderabad FC in the ISL.
However, looking back at the season, Seityasen realizes that his time with Blasters so far has not been very pleasing in terms of results. But, the Manipuri player backed his teammates by stating that all of them give their 100 percent on the field.
Kerala Blasters head coach Eelco Schattorie often had problems on the flanks, with his wingers being rotated frequently due to injury concerns. Since Seityasen’s return from a long injury, the gaffer has started him in every game. Speaking on the coach’s trust, the player said,
After a great season with Delhi Dynamos in the ISL in 2017-18, Seityasen took on a bigger challenge when he signed for NorthEast United in the 2018-19 season. However, an ACL injury kept him out of action for the whole year, badly affecting the winger’s career.
Even after plying his trade for half a dozen clubs over his career, Seityasen has a special place for Royal Wahingdoh in his life. He spoke with a smile about the bond he has with the Shillong-based club.
Seityasen has represented the Indian national team in five games and was part of the side that participated in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Recalling his days on national duty, the Manipur-born player labelled his debut as a special moment in his life. He said,
Kerala Blasters have a promising bunch of young players, especially from the NorthEast states. Halicharan Narzary, Jeakson Singh, and Mohammed Rakip are some of the regular starters in Eelco’s plans along with Seityasen Singh. The bench also has Samuel Lalmuanpuia, Lalruatthara and Pritam Singh. Seitya, however, feels that the team unity has a higher position than the regional similarities. He quipped,
One good result hasn’t taken the player off his feet as he realizes the importance of the Blasters’ upcoming games. The former Salgaocar player is aware that for his team to advance to the playoffs, they need to put up a tough fight. Still, he signed off with optimism on making it to the playoffs through their narrow chances.
