Ghana midfielder Baba Iddrisu Mohammed has reflected on the number of matches he has played for Real Mallorca, saying he has improved whenever he looks at the figures.
Baba made his debut for Real Mallorca when he replaced veteran Salva Sevilla in the 88th minute during a 1-0 win against Malaga in April 27, 2019.
The defensive midfielder has not looked back since as he’s cemented his place in the team.
He played a key role for the Vermillion as they won promotion to the Spanish LaLiga that term, starting
The former Tema Amidaus Professionals youngster has since missed just four matches, making him one of side’s most trusted players.
Now the Ghana international is enjoying a forced break from the game due to the novel coronavirus crisis, and took time to reflect on how far he’s developed.
"I think I have improved if I look at the number of games I have played," he says in an interview with Play Red. "I think that says a lot. Comparing this season with last season, this has been excellent. If I want to be a part of this team all the time, I have to do more than I am doing now. Every season there are new talents, so you should be there as the competition progresses,” he told RCDMagazine.
"I would like to thank Vicente Moreno enormously for the credibility and confidence he has given me, but I think there is still room for improvement. It really is my first season and I am still trying to get used to everything. I think there is still room for improvement, so I would like to thank you. As for the rest, I have to try harder if I want to maintain or go beyond the level of confidence that has given me.”
Baba won his debut cap for Ghana in the 2-0 victory against South Africa in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium last year.
