A former Dynamo star admitted that he has been drinking since childhood

Former Dynamo Kyiv soccer player Diogo Rincón spoke candidly about his struggles with alcohol and recalled his adjustment period in Ukraine.

“Alcohol, unfortunately, has been a part of my life for many years. It’s been present in my home since childhood. When I stopped playing soccer professionally, alcohol began to dominate my life.

To some extent, it helped me relax and not be so shy. Perhaps because of this, it was easier for me to get along with my teammates.

But today I realize that alcohol is a terrible friend. It’s a very serious problem and a major obstacle that must be avoided. I’m not afraid to talk about it,” said Rincón.
