We played a serious match and the objective was to start the season well… and that’s what happened,” he commented after the game.

The 29-year-old winger described the transition as a daily challenge. “Yes, you could call it a challenge, because every day is a new challenge.

On the field, I always try to give my best. The real challenge lies in the socio-cultural aspect. There are many new things for me, and I have to adapt to them,” he said.

Despite the adaptation phase, Bayala remains focused on his professional goals. He emphasised his commitment to playing regularly, performing consistently, and contributing to his team’s objectives.

“I want to continue competing, playing as many matches as possible, enjoying myself on the pitch while helping the club achieve its goals,” he added.

Bayala’s move to DL Kun’City in the Chinese second division marks the beginning of a new chapter in his career.

He is determined to establish himself within the club, build momentum on the pitch, and adapt fully to his new surroundings.

His debut signals both personal ambition and the club’s hopes for his contribution throughout the season.

With this positive start, Bayala appears ready to embrace the challenges of football in China while continuing to develop as a player and represent his Burkinabe roots internationally.
