Brazil is a land full of football talents. We all know well, that the greatest stars of football are born here. In Football Manager, it's not different. The best example for that is Cicero Santos, a player in his twenties from the „land of coffee”.
I've discovered this player during my adventure at Hertha Berlin. He was loaned out to this German team. After playing a few pre-season games, I was quite sceptical after his performances. He didn't amuse me at all. However, I have to admit that I've made a mistake. Cicero is a great playmaker, he could also help the team defensively, as well as in the final third of the pitch. I've often avoided conceding goals thanks to his won headers. A few beautiful goals scored from distance have helped me win some games. His great strength is also taking penalties very well. When I saw how and how much he ran during one single match, I was delighted. Unfortunately, this hard work makes him tired and even though he possesses a decent stamina, Cicero has problems to keep his fitness at the level of 75% until the half-time. So, you have to work on his fitness.
It's also good to notice, that the Brazilian loves to get into opposition area, he tries through passes and hits free kicks with power.
Even though he's got little problems with positioning while marking, the Bahia homegrown is worth buying to your team. The price is not too high, as for such a player. I assure you that you won't regret, if you decide to spend money on him.
