Dieumerci Mbokani, the Congolese striker, recently joined Dynamo Kyiv from Anderlecht. In his first match for Dynamo Kyiv against Spartak, the team secured a 2-1 victory with goals from Jeremain Lens and Gusev. However, Mbokani did not score in this particular match.
The tournament was organized between top teams from Russia and Ukraine as a potential prelude to a championship between the two nations. Despite the language barrier, Mbokani’s adaptation to Dynamo Kyiv seems to be progressing well. While he admitted that Russian is a challenging language to learn, he appears committed to understanding the culture and people in order to successfully adapt to his new environment.
