‘If Kokorin had scored for Fiorentina with the same consistency, he would have deserved an invitation to the national team’ – Nigmatullin

former goalkeeper Russian team on football Ruslan Nigmatullin think ahead Alexander Kokorin could be called up to the national team if he played for Fiorentina in the same way as Cypriot Aris.

Kokorin, whose rights belong to the Italian club, plays for Aris on loan. For the Limassol team, the 31-year-old forward has played nine games, scored four goals and provided two assists.

– Valery Karpin and his colleagues are betting on the future, on young players who can help the national team in the future. Kokorin is not such a player. Alexander, of course, is still promising, but the Cypriot league is still quite weak. Besides, I’m sure if Kokorin scored for Fiorentina with the same consistency, he would definitely deserve an invitation to the national team. In the meantime, it’s not worth talking about,” Nigmatullin told .

The Russian national team will play friendly matches with teams from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in November. For the national team, Kokorin scored 12 goals in 48 matches.
