"A FIFA tournament of this magnitude should always be played on LAN": Kerala Blasters FC player Shubham Jadhav
The second season of the eISL, India's premier FIFA tournament, is reaching its business end. Many new faces were seen competing this time around, including some top pros who hadn't participated in the inaugural edition.
Shubham Jadhav is a player who has had the privilege to experience the eISL with two different teams. The former Odisha FC star won the Kerala Blasters FC qualifier earlier this year to partner up with Lokmanyu Chaturvedi in this year's tournament.
In conversation with Sportskeeda Esports' Yasho Amonkar, Shubham gets candid about how he feels donning the yellow jersey of the Kerala Blasters, shares his two cents on what organizations can do to further elevate FIFA esports in India, and reveals his targets for the remainder of the season.

Shubham: Oh, surreal! I always wanted to be a part of Kerala Blasters FC. I kept telling my close friends that I wanted to play for the Kerala Blasters is the eISL. In a way, there was always a sense of manifesting this move, and I’m glad it worked.
Speaking of their fans, wow! I can’t put into words how different it feels to be playing for this club. There’s that added pressure to perform at your best, but it's a positive one, which I have always liked. I honestly love the fans a lot and would love to be here for a long time.
Shubham: For me, a FIFA tournament of this magnitude should always be played on LAN. Online FIFA is good, but it comes with a lot of technical difficulties and challenges that are difficult to solve.
When competing in LAN events, you get to be around your teammates and competitors, so there’s always a positive environment around you. In online tournaments, we have to talk to our teammates via Discord or PS parties.
