“Get slits.” It became known how they are going to meet Kokorin in Aris

Forward Alexander Kokorin came to Aris as one of the leaders, but first the Russian must go through the rite of passage to the team, said the head coach of the Cypriot club Alexei Shpilevsky.

On Wednesday, it became known that Kokorin moved to Aris from the Italian Fiorentina on loan until the end of the 2022/23 season. The contract of the Russian with the Serie A club is valid until June 30, 2024.

– Sasha already signed the contract yesterday, we saw him. Kokorin left a very good impression, only positive emotions. The main thing is that he is hungry and wants to play football.

Yesterday, after the flight, he trained individually. Today he will be in the general group for the first time. Of course, we took him as one of the leaders. We know that Sasha has crazy talent and potential. I am sure that he will not only strengthen us, but he is a great brand for the entire Cypriot football. I feel his charge, he missed football

We have a tradition in Aris for newcomers to the team. Kokorin will run through the famous tunnel, where he will get slits. Also today at the hotel in front of the team, he will sing the anthem “Arisa”, – quotes Shpilevsky “Match TV”.
