Andriy Voronin: “Kokorin had to leave early as a year ago” – SPORT – EXPRESS

CHAMPIONSHIP OF RUSSIA. PREMIER LEAGUE. 11 th round. Sunday “Dinamo” – CSKA

The former striker white and blue – on a successful series in the matches against CSKA Moscow, Kokorin, Pogrebnyak, Kerzhakov and his work on TV

– Remember how much time you have, “Dinamo” lost CSKA?

– Never (laughs) . I’ve always liked to play against the army. Match gets effective, bright. Of special note is meeting, when we defeat them – 4: 0.

– You then opened the score by scoring mocking goal.

– Yeah. Then we all turned out.

– What are the reasons successful Dynamo series?

– Hard to say. Just great tuning in to the derby. I really wanted to extend the series. We have all read in the newspapers that Slutsky can not win “Dynamo”. It gave us an extra incentive.

– Within the team joked that CSKA – “client”, “Dinamo”?

– Yes, this seems not. The same “Ruby” was for “Dinamo” very uncomfortable opponent, and we, in turn, been an insurmountable obstacle for the team Slutsky. No contempt for the army team is not exactly experienced. I was waiting for these games, as both teams showed attacking football.

– Apparently, in the near derby Slutsky will remove the “curse” of “Dynamo”?

– This will be only after the final whistle. Of course, CSKA – the undisputed favorite. CSKA scored cruising the course, though, and played in a very busy schedule. Moussa Doumbia and make a strong impression. Still, the motivation and attitude of white and blue has not been canceled.

– eighth place – the most that can now qualify for the team Kobelev?

– I think, “Dinamo” could qualify for more. But because of the situation in the past six months it is difficult to solve serious problems. Changed coaches, key players are gone. Sometimes you look at the bench, and there sat the guys who a half years ago could not imagine that will get even the reserve “Dynamo”.

– The Once again, is to convey the fiery “hello” the former management of the club?

– What can I say? It’s a shame that in such a short period of time this could happen with the “Dynamo”. First there were some ambitions are now completely different. On the other hand, there is the plus. Young children will acquire the meat will get a great experience. Who knows, maybe they are one hundred percent use their chance and soon strikes in the team?

– Who would be isolated from the youth “Dynamo”?

– glad for Roman Zobnina. When I was still in the “Dinamo”, it pulled up to the base. He had a great desire to express themselves. So he waited for his chance. I think he’s a better way to Yusupov in the center of midfield. Left defensive looks good Morozov. I remember Dima Khokhlov told coaches that it is necessary to pay attention. However, it has not listened. Tasha also not tushuetsya. It is clear that all of them need time to adapt to the Premier League. Makings seen – everything depends on them.

– How embraced the transition to the “Dinamo” Pogrebnyak? While he does not possess the effectiveness …

– I am not surprised by this turn in the career of Paul. I know Pogue. He wanted to return to Russia, a club with great tradition. Why not scored? Just under forward this level should be chosen a certain tactic.

– What?

– Pogrebnyak – forward of the penalty area. He needs flanking transmission casts. I’ve seen a few games, “Dynamo”. While the team does not play that way. Plus, keep in mind that not so long ago Pogue in “Dinamo”. Again, it will take some time. We still have to get used to the young teammates. I’m sure he will still score for the “Dynamo”!

– Kokorin hard it is to find the motivation? Still more recently, the club played in the European Cup, his matchmaker in “Zenith” and abroad.

– Kokorin had to leave early as a year ago. But he did not, or did not give him … I do not know. Now it’s hard to play with burning eyes. Recently, he has played in the world championship, “Dynamo” acted alongside Kuranyi, Valbuena. Now the situation is quite different. You know, we have often been criticized for the low productivity of the attackers. But much depends on the middle line.

– In your opinion, on Sunday Pogrebnyak and Kokorin remain on a starvation diet?

– I would not be so categorical. Kokorin times quite successfully played against CSKA defender. Pogrebnyak – experienced striker. Of course, it will be difficult, but the prospects for an end to the attack, “Dinamo” I do not set.

– At the end of the conversation a few questions about you. You are working on the Ukrainian TV?

– Yes. I was invited as an expert on the game of the Champions League with the participation of Kiev “Dynamo”. I decided to try myself in a new role. I want to stay in football, albeit in a different role.

– What are the challenges faced?

– The process of recording the program is too long (laughs) . But everything else was fine.

– Kerzhakov also called on TV. Give advice to the Russian scorer?

– What Now Alexander TV? He has boldly can play three or four years. On TV, he always has time, but in football only then do not come back.

– Are you surprised situation in which the “Zenith” is ready to let him go in the winter rental only overseas club, but now it does not count?

– This is reminiscent of the history of some of the players in the “Dynamo”. I find it difficult to judge what is happening inside the “Zenith”. But by this attitude it seems strange to striker Kerzhakov level. Club behaves ugly. In Europe, with honors escorted football and go to meet his legend.
