Le Havre : Demba Bâ voulait recruter un vice-capitaine des Lions
Demba Ba has been Le Havre's sporting director since June. Sought after by Lorient, Nice, and Rennes, the former striker chose to join Le Havre. But don't think for a moment that the retired Senegalese international (22 caps, 4 goals) made a decision of the heart by signing for the club in the city where he grew up. He's not that kind of person. "I don't really think with my heart," he explained in a fascinating interview with the French sports daily L'Équipe . "It's a pleasure to be here, where my older brother and other brothers still live. But I truly believe this club can achieve much more. What motivates me is reaching its full potential."
To achieve this, Demba Ba doesn't skimp on working hours (he sleeps 3 to 5 hours a day). And he has wild ideas. For example: convincing Idrissa Gana Gueye to leave Everton and the Premier League to join his compatriot and Le Havre goalkeeper, Mory Diaw. The idea gnawed at him, but he ultimately abandoned it. Realistically, he conceded that it was "not feasible." Without elaborating further.
Demba Ba attempted such a move while serving as sporting director at Dunkirk—a position he left for Le Havre. L'Équipe reports that he contacted Eden Hazard, his former Chelsea teammate and ex-Real Madrid player, "for a short-term contract." The deal fell through. This didn't deter him from trying again.
