Alexander Kokorin: We'll put it right and catch up with Spartak"

The Zenit forward on the outcome of the match in Krasnodar.
Alexander, what happened?

It's hard to say, we will have to look at it. Probably a not enough concentration in the last two minutes.  

It looked like it was going to be a goalless draw, but still Zenit scored. 

The game was soft there weren't a lot of moments. We managed to score at the end, but didn't have enough concentration, we probably relaxed, because we thought that the game was over.  

What do you think about the race for the title?

It's still early to say, half the season is still to come. Next year we have some tough games coming up when we need to win and we'll have the game with Spartak! 

Do Zenit deserve to be in second?

Well, considering that we have given up points recently we should be sharing first place right now with Spartak.  

Did you congratulate Kerzhakov in the locker room on his birthday?

Unfortunately, this didn't happen, as we were all upset. We gave 100%, but you saw what happened in the end.  

Does it feel like Spartak are having all the luck and Zenit don't?

Luck has to be earned, We'll put it right and catch up with Spartak.
