2) Aleksandr Kokorin – Russia
The Russian and FC Zenit forward recently created a lot of speculation when a transfer to Premier League giants, Arsenal was rumoured during December 2015. The 25-year-old is, arguably, most famous for his lavish lifestyle and his consequent advertising of the same on various social media platforms.
Russian football experts have consistently hailed him and teammate Oleg Shatov as the rising stars of international football and It is safe to state that despite an unlucky draw, England dominated most of this Euro fixture and were a much more cohesive team than their opponents.
Arguably, Eric Dier's free kick was one of the rare bright spots of their game as most of the Russians looked shaky throughout the first half. While some finally found their footing in the later part of the game, Kokorin was among those who failed to impress.
The fact that the Russian team do not have too much of bench strength to offer a suitable replacement for Kokorin makes his underperformance problematic. After a brilliant run in the 2012-13 season of the Russian League, Kokorin has primarily been in the limelight more for his extravagance than for his football exploits.
