Baba: "We must be positive, stop looking backwards and start looking forward"

UD Almería central midfielder Idrissu Baba chatted to the media about his current state of mind and the situation of the team. 'I'm fine now, but I've been through difficult times. My goal is to help the team stay up in the Primera Division, but if I have to be there to help them move back up, I'll be there too,' he stated.

For the Ghanaian player, the team is showing a good version of themselves and improving in many aspects: 'We're playing well, without conceding goals, I hope we continue like this and we can do something to change this situation. The goal we have is to win and I'm pretty sure that with this effort, a victory will come. We aspire to get the three points as soon as possible,' he concluded. 

The next match that UD Almería will play will play is against Atlético de Madrid and Baba made it clear: 'Each match is a good opportunity to prove ourselves that we're prepared to compete, we must have our batteries fully charged and focus on ourselves to be able to win.' 

The 28-year-old spoke about his new team-mate, Bruno Langa: 'I played in the African Cup against him and when he arrived here, we were talking about it and we've become very good friends.' He also highlighted that competing in Africa for him 'has been a great experience, it was the second time he did so, although the results weren't good.'

To end his press conference, the Ghanaian footballer opened up to the media and assured: 'It's painful to see that you we don't win, the fans expected a lot from us and finishing the games without winning is hard' and he concluded by stating: 'At the end of the day, this is football and we have to be positive, try to turn this situation around and, above all, stop looking backwards and start looking forward.'
