“The return of Kokorin to the Russian national team seems unlikely” – ex-player of “Dynamo” Wilkshire

Former Dynamo footballer Luke Wilkshire considers the return of Cypriot Aris striker Alexander Kokorin to the Russian national team unlikely.

– Russian forward Artem Dzyuba moved to the Turkish club Adana Demirspor and sat on the bench there. Do you think this transfer was a good decision for Dzyuba?

– When you move to a foreign country, it is always difficult – a new team, a new environment, a different mentality. You are challenging yourself. It is especially difficult for attackers, they are expected to score goals and bright performances. And here everything depends only on Dzyuba – whether he can turn this difficult situation around and return to the field or not. Of course, there is a chance that he will continue to sit on the bench.

– Alexander Kokorin moved to Aris and has already scored. Does he have a chance to revive his career?

– Listen, Kokorin really has qualities, plus the level of the Cypriot championship is far from the highest. Of course, this is a league where he can prove himself and regain confidence in his own abilities. Return to the Russian national team or Fiorentina? An excellent challenge, you need to try, while not forgetting that in Cyprus there is a completely different level. But when you fall to such a level, a return to the national team seems unlikely to me, but everything is possible in football, ”RB Sport” quotes Kokorin.
