Fortunately, the money for Kokorin was found in Lokomotiv, in whose football school he spent 6 years, having left his parents for Moscow at the age of 10.
As the athlete himself later admitted, it was very difficult for him: he had to organize his life on his own, and the scholarship was enough to visit McDonald's only once.
4. Contract with Dynamo
He signed his first professional contract with Dynamo Moscow before the start of the 2008 season. The guy was taken for the backup team, but the injuries of the main strikers led to the fact that 17-year-old Alexander was transferred to the main team. The debut did not have to wait long, in the match of the 24th round of Dynamo - Saturn (Moscow region) Kokorin scored his first goal, becoming the youngest distinguished player that season in the Premier League.

In total, Kokorin played 8 seasons for Dynamo, played 203 matches and scored 50 goals.
5. Short-term contract with Anji
In 2013, he decided to join an ambitious project at Anji. At that time, a lot of money was invested in the team, there were such stars as Yuri Zhirkov, Igor Denisov, Lassana Diarra, Willian, Samuel Eto'o and others.
Dynamo received compensation of 19 million euros, but his career at Anji did not work out - at first the striker was injured. Then the club was cut off funding and most of the star players had to be sold. Dynamo hastened to return the player to himself, where he continued his career until 2016.
6. Contract with Zenit
In January 2016, it became known that Kokorin was moving to Zenit. Later it was reported that London Arsenal claimed the footballer, but Dynamo did not like the offer of this club.
In St. Petersburg, my career did not work out either. During the second half of his debut season, the striker was able to score only three goals, and in the summer he was sent to Zenit's double for being at a party in Monte Carlo after the Russian national team was eliminated from UEFA EURO 2016.
Seasons 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 spent on high level, in one he scored 10 goals in all tournaments for Zenit in the other 19 goals.
The 2018/2019 season also started well, the player played 5 matches, scored 2 goals, but then appeared in a grand scandal with the beating of the driver and officials. Now the player's career is in limbo - the club wants to break the contract with him, and the RFU wants to disqualify him for life, along with Pavel Mamaev. This is not to mention the criminal case brought against their company.
But more about the scandals with Korin below.
Scandals
7. Party in Monte Carlo
After the inglorious departure from the national team from EURO 2016, Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev did not go home, but to Monte Carlo, where they threw a noisy party in one of the luxury Twiga clubs.
Everything would be fine, we decided to take a break. But the scale of the celebration of the departure was simply amazing - they smoked hookah, drank champagne costing 500 euros per bottle, and all this to the anthem of Russia. In total, the players spent 250,000 euros at the club, although they subsequently tried to refute information about such a large amount.
It all ended with the players apologizing, but Kokorin was still sent to Zenit's double for educational purposes.
8. Beating an official and a driver
October 8, 2018 a couple of Kokorin and. Only now, if in 2016 no one was hurt by their actions, then in 2018 everything could end in a criminal case for the entire company.
First of all, the network got a video in which Kokorin and company beat a man in the Coffeemania restaurant, including using a chair. According to the players, he insulted them, but they only reacted emotionally to it.
Perhaps the case could have been hushed up on the same day, but the victim turned out to be an official of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Pak. For now, he intends to bring the case to a guilty verdict, as, according to him, the company behaved too noisy (there was a lot of alcohol on their tables, and the video shows aggressive behavior from the very beginning), and in response to the remark, they began to insult and beat him with a chair.
A little later, another video appeared on the network. On it, Kokorin, Mamaev and Kokorin's brother Kirill, beat a man in the parking lot. The incident happened a little earlier and, again, the players insist on the version that they were provoked. Although it is not entirely clear why a man, alone, provoke a whole company of drunken youth.
The injured man turned out to be 35-year-old Vitaly Solovchuk, the driver of TV presenter Olga Ushakova, he received a head injury and was hospitalized.
In both cases, the victims turned out to be people who are more interested in bringing the case to a conviction than in receiving monetary compensation. If “ordinary” people were in the place of these victims, then the case would certainly not have received wide publicity - the representatives of the football players practically managed to buy the recording from the cafe, the driver of Pak interfered.
The identity of the attackers is also important. Of course, there are many such drunken fights every day, but the players behaved too brazenly, beat people in front of others and made it clear in every possible way that they would not get anything for it.
Now both football players, as well as Kokorin's brother, have been arrested, the court has chosen this measure of restraint until December 8. A case was initiated against them under Art. 216 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (beatings) and part 2 of Art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hooliganism by an organized group). Both articles provide for imprisonment.
The fact that the athletes will spend two months in prison casts doubt on their professional careers. If before that Zenit and Krasnodar (football clubs) only studied the possibility of terminating their contracts, now they will have a good reason: failure to fulfill their professional obligations. Krasnodar has already submitted the necessary documents to the RFU Chamber of Dispute Resolution, Zenit intends to wait until the end of the case and the announcement of the verdict.
9. Lover of high speeds
In his youth, the footballer often drove along the roads of Moscow, exceeding the speed limit. Now the athlete is also becoming a defendant in road accidents.
10. The shooting episode
The recent episode of shooting into the air at the wedding of an Ossetian friend and colleague Alan Chochiev received an ambiguous assessment. Alexander himself posted the video to the network, but later deleted it.
Personal life
11. Relationship with sister Timati
Alexander became constantly becoming a "hero" of the scandalous chronicle as soon as he went up professional career... The striker's first significant romance hit the gossip columns at the beginning of his career. Beloved Victoria turned out to be cousin rapper Timati. Soon the girl left to study in London, but Alexander's career in this city has not yet "shone".
12. Kristina Dolgopolova
The next girl was Christina Dolgopolova. She accompanied the athlete to Euro 2012 in Poland, but in the fall Kokorin, having quarreled with her, went to rest in Miami with Pavel Mamaev. At the same time, strange photos appeared on the network with Kokorin and Mamaev hugging and kissing. The footballers publicly denied the ambiguity of the photo.
13. Daria Valitova
Daria did not just become new girlfriend Alexandra, but achieved a more serious relationship. In 2016, they secretly got married, and in mid-2017 they had a son. The rest of the details of the personal life of the couple are carefully hidden.

I received a lot of letters, I am trying to answer everyone. I read everything, "- said the forward Kokorin.
After that, more and more voices began to be heard in defense of the brawlers Kokorin and Mamaev. "SP" wrote that the deputy of the lower house of the Russian parliament, well-known domestic coach Valery Gazzaev believes that the investigation went too far with punishment for Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev. The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that he was ready to employ the arrested footballers in Grozny's Akhmat, "whatever the outcome of the criminal case, when Kokorin and Mamaev are free, even if this happens tomorrow or after a long time."
The coordinator of the opposition movement "Left Front" Sergei Udaltsov, on his Twitter page, suggested that Kokorin and Mamaev "will sit quietly and evenly in the pre-trial detention center, taking into account the resonance of the case and their financial capabilities." “Let them read books and take up their minds, I think they can get by with a short time, or maybe even a conditional one ...”, Udaltsov noted.
Svobodnaya Pressa reported that the mother of the St. Petersburg Zenit striker Alexander Kokorin and his brother Kirill commented on the conflict involving her sons, calling it a catastrophe of her entire life. Then the mother of the Kokorins told in an interview with the Russia-1 TV channel that she was ready to go to Red Square with her sons.
“And let the whole country come, everyone who is indignant, hit us, beat us, but we don’t need to close them off from society,” stressed the mother of the Kokorins.
"Sport-Express" wrote that "Zenith" decided to take a break in deciding the question of the future of labor relations with the player until the final decision of the court. If Kokorin receives a real term, then the contract will be terminated, and if the punishment is not so severe, he will return to the team.
According to the Championship website, under the current contract, Kokorin receives 3.5 million euros a year from Zenit. At the current exchange rate of the Central Bank, this is 738 thousand rubles a day, Kokorin receives this money in the pre-trial detention center.
In early April 2019, the court began to consider the criminal case of the athletes. On May 8, the Presnensky Court of Moscow announced the verdict in the case of the footballers. Kokorin and Mamaev were found guilty of battery, hooliganism and gross violation of public order and sentenced to imprisonment in a general regime colony.
By a court decision, Alexander Kokorin received a term of one year and six months, Pavel Mamaev - a year and five months. The verdict entered into force on May 8.
According to the law, every day spent by footballers in a pre-trial detention center is equivalent to one and a half days in a colony. Therefore, as the news reported, the Kokorin brothers, without taking into account possible appeals and appeals, will need to spend about 7.5 months in the colony (they should be released in December 2019), and Mamaev - 6.5 months (he may be released in November).
"SP" reported that Kokorin and Mamaev received a positive response from the FSIN at hearings on parole.
On September 6, "SP" reported that the Alekseevsky court of the Belgorod region decided to release Kokorin and Mamaev on parole.
This information was shared on Instagram by lawyer Tatyana Stukalova.
As the news reported, the younger brother of the Zenit striker Kirill Kokorin was also released.
According to the deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Valery Maksimenko, the punishment had an effect on all three, and "now they are completely different people."
Head coach Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov admitted the possibility of Mamaev and Kokorin returning to the national team. According to the mentor, the players atoned for their guilt before society and it would be wrong to put an end to them, as if they were athletes.
“Today they were released from the colony, let's wait until they return to their normal state, start playing. Time will tell. Before your eyes, we have never given up on anyone. We are all people, we are all mistaken, so deleting a person from life is the worst thing, ”Cherchesov’s news was quoted as saying.
Journalist Vasily Konov in his telegram channel said that the St. Petersburg "Zenith" intends to conclude a new contract with Kokorin.
Personal life of Alexander Kokorin
The personal life of Alexander Kokorin is interested in the news of the tabloids no less than his goals - in the sports media. The biography of the forward on the site "Know everything" says that Kokorin met with Victoria Smirnova(cousin Timati), but broke up with her, as the girl devoted too much time high life and spent in clubs.
Then Alexander Kokorin had a girlfriend named Christina, who accompanied him during Euro 2012, after a while the young people broke up.
Since 2014, a friend of Alexander Kokorin is Daria Valitova- a singer under the pseudonym Amelie. Daria Valitova, as they write in the news, was previously the singer's girlfriend Vlada Topalova and all the same Timati. Kokorin and Daria Valitova met in 2013, Alexander long sought her location.
Now on Daria's body there is even a tattoo "K9" - game number Kokorin.
In June 2017, Alexander Kokorin and his bride Daria Valitova had a son, this news went around the media after the charitable organization Play and Help on Instagram congratulated the couple on this. Nobody officially confirmed the information about the birth of Kokorin's child.
Soon, life.ru reported the news that Kokorin signed with his longtime friend Daria Valitova, who recently gave birth to his son.
Football player representative Kirill Loginov refused to comment on the personal life of Alexander Kokorin.
According to a source from the circle of the Zenit football player, Alexander Kokorin secretly signed with his chosen one Daria Valitova. According to an insider, the ceremony was held in a narrow family circle, and only relatives and friends of young people were present.
The news often includes various appeals of porn actresses to Alexander Kokorin. For example, in 2015 the winner of the "Porno Oscar" Russian woman Alina Eremenko promised to hold a 16-hour sex marathon with Dynamo Moscow footballer Alexander Kokorin, if he scores five goals before the end of the Russian championship. Kokorin managed to score only once.
In 2016, during the Russia - England match, Alina Eremenko said that if Kokorin scores two goals at the European Championship in France, he can count on uninterrupted sex at a “reduced rate”. “Kokorin, come on! I'm lowering the rate to two goals, "said the winner of the" Porno-Oscar "in the nomination" Best Sex Scene in a Foreign Film "model Alina Eremenko, better known under the pseudonym Henessy.
What happened to Kokorin and Mamaev is usually called an unpleasant story. This is their second unpleasant story together. And undoubtedly more unpleasant than what happened in Monaco more than two years ago.
What happened then
Kokorin and Mamaev, during their vacation, went to an expensive club for an expensive party, drank champagne there.
This happened shortly after the departure of the Russian national team from Euro 2016.
And nothing more. The footballers did not beat anyone, did not insult anyone. The act was immoral, it violated ethical norms, but not the law. In the end, no one was hurt by the champagne.
Later, Kokorin and Mamaev publicly apologized and both were temporarily exiled to the second teams of Zenit and Krasnodar. The impression was that the guys understood everything.
But now Kokorin hit the man. And not with a fist, but with a chair. Mamaev was there. And then, judging by the video, he himself took part in the scuffle.
What can be seen in the video
Kokorin approaches the table with a man (presumably Denis Pak). The footballer takes a chair and hits the man with it.
A young blond man (similar to Kokorin's younger brother, 18-year-old Kirill) punches the man in the face.
Mamaev is trying to hit (or is striking, not to understand for sure) another man in a business suit - who it is is unknown. The man, in response, wringes the player's hand.
We do not know what exactly prompted Kokorin to such an aggressive reaction. But there was a blow with a chair. The whole country saw it. As a result of the scuffle in the cafe, a criminal case was initiated under the article "Beating". What could be the punishment (at least for Kokorin)? There are several options. This includes correctional labor, an administrative fine, and imprisonment for up to two years. If the article is reclassified as "Hooliganism" and "Intentional infliction of harm to health," then everything can be even worse - imprisonment for up to eight years.
Of course, an option cannot be ruled out in which the parties agree to reconciliation. But will an employee of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Pak compromise after he was hit with a chair in a cafe while he was peacefully having breakfast. It seems to me a rhetorical question.
The press service of "Zenith" called the incident in the Moscow cafe outrageous and said that the decision to punish Kokorin would be made after an investigation by law enforcement agencies. Whether the striker will be able to play in the next match of the team - on October 21 with “Dynamo”, they did not explain. “Krasnodar” also reacted to the incident.
The clubs were in an awkward position. 27-year-old Kokorin is in the top 5 highest paid footballers of the team (3.3 million euros per year), he just recovered from a cruciate ligament injury. 30-year-old Mamaev finally began to play as expected of him. He even scored a goal with a rabona - this has never happened in the Russian championship.
If two years ago they were exiled to the second teams for a vacation on vacation, in fact, following the lead of public opinion, then what kind of sanctions could there be now? Terminating contracts? Moreover, given that sanctions will follow from the police - certainly in relation to Kokorin.
Kokorin and Mamaev are some of the most talented Russian footballers born at the turn of the 80s and 90s. They were not fully revealed. Yes, now we can talk about this in the past tense, because what happened on Nikitsky Boulevard is a real career murder.
Alexander, Pavel, do you definitely want to play football?
