Berlin (dpa) - Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia has after the harsh criticism of his offensive star Matheus Cunha no worry about a long-lasting dispute.

“He's an important player, but also a young player who, like everyone, has ups and downs.

We'll see how you can adjust the player, ”said Labbadia in a digital media round of the Berlin Bundesliga club on Monday.

The Hertha coach had described the 21-year-old Brazilian performance at 1: 4 in Freiburg shortly before Christmas as “underground” and a “no go”.

“I don't often react like that, a coach has to be objective,” said the 54-year-old now, looking back.

In the Bundesliga game against Schalke 04 on Saturday (6.30 p.m. / Sky), Labbadia is hoping for a turnaround after the disappointing season so far in 14th place with just 13 points. “I'm not a fan of looking back into the past.

I am self-critical, there would have been more points.

There are a number of reasons why it isn't.

Listing them would sound like an excuse, ”said Labbadia.
