Alexander Kokorin: "I'm happy we are going home"

The in-form forward on the big win against Vardar.
Last week people were asking us why Zenit didn't score in the last two matches, but today we scored five so we are happy with this and also the win. It was important to start well, especially since this is an away match. 

Why did Vardar have such a poor game? 

I don't know. In the games with Fenerbahce they looked like a very serious team. What happened to them today - I do not know. 

Are your recent performances like a fairy tale? 

Not that a fairy tale ... This is the result of a change of position, I have more freedom, I'm not fixed in one position and can move along the whole line of attack. This I know how to play well. What I was doing last season, it did not work out very well. 

Your playing like Lionel Messi at the moment and your statistics show it!

I do not think about the rewards, such as top scorer in the Europa League, or to compare myself with Messi. In the end, we're in different tournaments and are different players. Messi is a great footballer. Now I can only talk about today's win and I'm happy we are going home
