Biography of Alexander Kokorin
Alexander Kokorin was born in the town of Valuyki, Belgorod Region, not far from Ukraine, into a family of Christian believers Svetlana and Alexander Kokorin.
At the age of 7, Sasha enrolled in the boxing section and at the same time in the football section. Just a familiar boxing trainer lived not far from Sasha's house. The boy was like boxing for only 4 months, but he realized that he liked football more. And he took up football closely. And Sasha loved to play with the ball since childhood, constantly driving the ball around the yard.
Sasha was lucky: the coach in Valuyki was simultaneously a breeder in football school Moscow "Spartak" (selected talented players), where Kokorin was selected. But in the capital, Sasha had nowhere to live (the club could not provide housing), besides, the boy did not like how he was treated here, and he, upset, went home. And after a while, an option turned up: he was invited to sports school Lokomotiv was sent to the boarding school at the club.
So, a 10-year-old fan of Alexander Arshavin and Roman Pavlyuchenko was left alone in the huge capital. Here he studied for six years.

The boy organized his life himself: he washed clothes, cooked food, and on a tiny scholarship he could pamper himself with a burger at McDonald's.

At this time, he showed himself so well that he was called up to the national team.
And in July 2013, Kokorin left for the club "Anji" (Makhachkala), and the compensation amounted to 19 million euros. However, he had to go abroad to treat an old injury, while the team underwent a restructuring and several star players had to be put up for sale. Yuri Zhirkov, Igor Denisov and Alexander Kokorin were transferred to Dynamo. This happened already in August 2013. So Kokorin did not have to play for the Makhachkala club "Anji".

To the fact that the journalists fanned the scandal around this photo, Kokorin said:
“We flew to rest in America, and people, apparently, became bored without us. They decided to stir up this scandal. But there are people who believe that Pasha and I are gay ”.
In 2016, the media were full of reports that Kokorin and Mamaev "celebrated" the departure of the Russian national team from the European Championship at the expensive Twiga nightclub in Monte Carlo. For this behavior, Alexander was punished by transferring to the reserve team: Zenit-2.
