Demba Ba has played down reports his departure from Istanbul Basaksehir was down to a row over Ramadan fasting with manager Aykut Kocaman. But this is football - things change. "I don't believe the rumours are true and don't want to believe them either because there are other players in the team who are still playing and fasting. "I just want to enjoy my football for the last couple of years and find joy again," Ba said. "I've been thinking about my own career and how I made it and the things I experienced," added Ba.
