Cypriot “Aris” striker Alexander Kokorin shared his emotions from the first match for the new club.

The Russian made his debut in the new team in the match with Olympiacos in the second round of the Cypriot championship. The meeting ended in a crushing victory for the hosts with a score of 5: 0, Kokorin scored one assist.

— It was a good victory. I am glad that I managed to play a half, because I arrived only two days ago and did not train very much, there was only one individual training and one with the team. But I’m glad, I played 45 minutes in the official match, and the team won 5:0. We played easily in the second half because we scored two goals in the first half and just continued to dominate the match.

When I arrived, I saw a lot of Russians and Aris fans. There was strong support, it is very important. Thanks everyone, I love you. And come to the stadium for the next match! Everyone from Cyprus, come and support Aris! There will be interesting matches ahead, we need your support, ”Kokorin told the Aris press service, which provided the Match TV material.

“Aris” became the leader of the Cyprus Championship standings with 6 points.
