Demba Ba’s move to Besiktas this summer marks a fresh start after two challenging years at Chelsea. The Senegalese striker’s time at Chelsea, especially under José Mourinho, wasn’t what he hoped for.
Ba expressed some disappointment about not getting a fair shot at Chelsea once Mourinho arrived. He feels that at clubs packed with big names, sometimes reputation overshadows actual performance. Despite this, he remains grateful for his experience at Chelsea and values the friendships he made there, notably with Eden Hazard and Branislav Ivanovic. He also wished the club well in their pursuit of the league title.
It sounds like Ba is ready to focus on his next chapter in Turkey and make a strong impact with Besiktas.
