Matheus Cunha: “Rangnick shaped me”

18 million euros in proceeds, Hertha BSC had the commitment of Matheus Cunha (20) cost it at the end of January. After a season with Swiss first division club FC Sion and 18 months with RB Leipzig, the Brazilian attacker has a lot on his plate in Berlin. His premiere match in Paderborn, where he played a major role in the 2-1 victory, turned out promising. When Alexander Nouri talks about Matheus Cunha, he quickly goes into raptures. “He looks forward to every unit, is a positive guy and spreads joy even in the dressing room,” says Hertha’s coach about the new arrival, who only landed in Berlin on Wednesday, got his new work permit on Friday and was the most conspicuous Berliner in Paderborn on Saturday.
