Alexander Kokorin told how he gets in shape through matches

Russian striker “Aris” Alexander Kokorin said that the form returns to him through matches.

“Aris” after five rounds leads the tournament with 12 points.

– The Cyprus Championship has two stages: the regular season, then the final bullet for the leaders. This is for intrigue. There are no fateful matches in the fall, all the decisive ones will take place in the spring. And a whole group of teams are vying for medals.

Are forwards in Aris allowed not to work in defense, but to be a free artist? The head coach (Aleksey Shpilevsky) has the following philosophy: when defending, everyone works out, maximum intensity. And then you can carry out an interesting attack. For such a game you need good “physics”. I feel that the form returns to me through the matches. You can train very well and for a very long time, but real football is only in official matches, ”Kokorin told the Championship.

The rights to the 31-year-old striker Kokorin belong to the Italian club Fiorentina. The lease agreement with Aris ends on June 30, 2023.

In the 2022/23 season, in four matches for Aris, Kokorin scored 1 goal and gave 1 assist. Alexander’s current value is 800 thousand euros, according to Transfermarkt.
