# Salah bemoans time at Chelsea – “I didn’t get a chance”

Mohamed Salah has revealed his thoughts surrounding his time spent at Chelsea, [in an interview with Sky Sports.](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/11336602/exclusive-mo-salah-on-golden-boot-desire-and-proving-chelsea-doubters-wrong)

The winger was signed by the Blues in 2014 from FC Basel, and struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge.

Being loaned out to Serie A on two occasions (first to Fiorentina, then to Roma), then-manager Jose Mourinho decided to cut his losses with the prospect and allow him to join Roma on a permanent deal prior to the 2015/16 season.

Having made just 13 appearances in a blue shirt, Salah did not believe he was afforded a proper opportunity to show the staff what he could do.

> I didn’t play. You can see by the numbers. I didn’t have my chance, but you can see when I did get my chance I proved some people wrong.

> Because in my mind I have to succeed here, when I left the Premier League I said I’d come back, and when I had the chance, I came.

Arriving back in Britain with a £36.5 million deal with Liverpool secured, the Egyptian has been nothing short of a sensation.

With 40 goals in all competitions to this point, Salah confesses he’s a different player to the one that people saw at Chelsea.

> You can see the difference \[in me\] between now, a year before, two years before that. Every year, every day, every month I am proving myself. I always try to see my weakness, work on it, to be better as a person and a player, everything.
