Alexander Alexandrovich Kokorin is a football player of the Dynamo Moscow club. Despite his young age, the guy achieved considerable success in sports activities. About how Sasha followed to the heights of a football career, we will talk in our article.
Childhood
Alexander was born on March 19 in 1991. The homeland of the athlete is the city of Valuyki (Belgorod region). It is known that Sasha mastered the basics of football with his father even in preschool age.
When the boy was studying in elementary school, a football team coach went into his class and invited those who wanted to go in for sports to attend his section. Alexander did not doubt a second, and the very next day stood on the field.
But football is not the only occupation that the kid was fond of. His plans also included becoming a professional boxer.

At the age of 9, Alexander went to Moscow to watch Spartak. There, they were satisfied with the boy, but the team did not have the opportunity to provide housing for young talent. Therefore, Kokorin, a beginner but talented footballer, went to the Lokomotiv viewing place, where he was received with open arms and was immediately offered the coveted dormitory room.
During training in a team, the guy was repeatedly awarded prizes as the best striker in the championships of Moscow football schools.
In an interview, Alexander Kokorin said that he became independent at the age of 10 when he studied at the Lokomotiv boarding school. Parents were allowed to come only several times a month, so at first it was quite difficult. But over time, Sasha got used to such a life.
First successes
In 2008, Kokorin signs a contract with Dynamo Moscow. Being at the age of 17, Sasha makes his debut as a striker in the match of the 24th round of âSaturnâ - âDynamoâ. In that match, thanks to the skillful game of Alexander, 1 goal flies into the opponentâs goal. This is one of the most important events in the life of a novice football player.
It is worth saying that Alexander is one of 16 young athletes who managed to score a ball in the major league of the Russian championship at such a young age.
In the next three matches, Kokorin, a football player who is undoubtedly gifted, scores another winning goal against the opponent. Then the guys play against Alexanderâs native team - Lokomotiv.
For participation in the championship Dynamo get a bronze medal. In the same year, Kokorin was recognized as the best striker of the IV International Youth Tournament of the Belarusian Football Federation.
Subsequent games
In 2009, in the 2nd Russian championship, the Dynamo team entered the field against Khimki. The footballer Kokorin, whose biography is outlined in our article, then scores a very important goal. In the next 23 matches, Alexander sends only 2 goals to the opponentâs goal. In addition, for serious violations, the judge ârewardsâ him with three yellow cards for rough play.
In 2010, Sasha takes part in all 26 matches of the championship, but, unfortunately, does not score a single goal.
Despite a temporary setback, the sports director of the team claims that Alexander has many more victories ahead.
In 2011, Kokorin is a football player who has almost taken place. He goes out to fight against the Anji team. During the match, he sends 1 goal to the opponentâs goal. As a result, the total score is 2: 2. For the entire championship Sasha scored 5 goals. To the delight of the fans, Dynamo reached the final of the Russian Cup. They have to fight with the Ruby. Unfortunately, the team loses with a score of 0: 1.
It is worth noting that in 2011 Kokorin is recognized as the best young soccer player in Russia.
In the same year, negotiations are underway to extend the working contract with Alexander. Fortunately, the player remains in the team for another 3.5 years.
In the Europa League in the new season, Kokorin (soccer player) scores 3 goals.
Anji
In 2013, Alexander publicly declares that he wants to continue his career at Anji. The player is offered ⏠19 million.
Return to home team
At the end of 2013, Sasha decides to return to his native team, without having played for a new one. Kokorin is a football player whose salary at that time was ⏠5.5 million per year. He then replenished the composition of Dynamo, along with Yuri Zhirkov and Igor Denisov.
During the new season, he scores 4 goals and gives two assists.
In the 2014-2015 season, Alexander carries out his debut hat-trick in a match with Rostov. In the 13th round, the only goal of Kokorin brings the victory to Dynamo over CSKA.
After the winter holidays in the new season, Alexander is sitting on the bench.
In 2015, he was appointed captain in place of Kevin Caranya. In the first match, Kokorin scores a goal for Zenit. Later it becomes known that the young football player is interested in Zenit, Tottenham, PSG and Manchester United.
In 2015, in a match with Terek, Kokorin flagrantly breaks the rules. The judge decides to remove the player from the field and assign him a two-match suspension.
It is known that Alexander is not going to sign a new contract with Dynamo. The reason is a cut in salaries almost doubled. Actively rumored that Kokorin is going to join the ranks of the "Zenith". We hope the proposed fee will suit him completely.
The personal life of a football player
It is known that the first girl of Kokorin was Timati's cousin - Victoria. Young people met in one of the Moscow clubs. Unfortunately, due to the girlâs great love for entertainment and her frivolous attitude to life, the couple broke up.
After some time, Alexander was noticed in the company of the beautiful Christina. But these relations did not last long.
At the moment, Alexander Kokorin (soccer player) is in a relationship with Daria Valitova.
We wish the football player good luck!
