Cicero critized Funkel

Hertha Berlin midfielder Cicero has openly criticized the tactics of coach Friedhelm Funkel in the home game on Saturday against bottom club Mainz 05 (1:1). "I think we are too defensive. We should do more in the attack, at least at home games. There will come a time when draws are no longer enough," said the Brazilian for "Bild". Cicero, a substitute against Mainz also defended himself against accusations that he is too isolate with the other South Americans from the rest of team.

"It appears that for everything are guilty the Brazilians" said Cicero. "Without us  Hertha will be worse." 

Meanwhile midfielder Gojko Kacar hopes for a speedy return to the team. "My plan is to train this week with the team. I will try on Sunday against SC Freiburg to be present," said the Serbian national player. Because of knee problems the 23 years old Kacar  is missing since early December.
