Playing for Jose Mourinho 'very exhausting,' says Demba Ba

Ba -- who scored 14 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea during Mourinho's first season
back at Stamford Bridge -- still holds his former boss in high regard, he admits he found him to be a demanding manager who has little time for players who lack confidence.
"We've seen it in the past," Ba told French radio station RMC. "It's very tiring -- very exhausting -- because he demands a huge amount. He wants to try to push his players to their limit to know what they have. That's also one of his methods of working.
"He's not someone who's there to give confidence to the players -- he's there to get what he can out of them. And if a player lacks confidence, it's not him who'll give it back to them. He's going to rely on someone else who is confident. If you don't have confidence all he's going to do is to put you on the bench."
