a écrit le 29 février 2012 à 0h21 A whole system of deputies was established after Eto'o had Song banned to keep him as far from the captaincy as possible if he ever returned but that needs over-turned now and to recognise that he should succeed Eto'o whose on-field leadership (which usually involves agreeing with and making friends of the opposition players) makes Henry seem a fantastic captain.
The meal example is one that lend credence to Song's story he was acting on the teams behalf because he actually urged his team mates not to start the meal before Eto'o arrived, it was by all accounts Emana that got up first to fill his plate, it had been tradition that no-one start before the captain arrived but in Rigo's day he was not prone to keep them waiting.
Song was more concerned about Eo'o not wishing to travel on the team bus and thing like that but I suppose Eto'o would argue that being an international personallity he has commitments and therefore should be allowed to join the squad latter or skip the odd practice. I'm an Arsenal fan but I'm not saying the right is all with Song, he was angry in the manner Rigo was displaced and he obviously felt he was the real team leader but he spectacularly misread how Le Guen would react.
The whole hierarchy in Cameroonian football can be very complex and the organisation of the national team has in the past been chaotic but seems to be improving, if I described some of the circular routes they used to travel to games to keep travel costs down you would say I was lying but at least that and other logistics are improving.
Song is the natural captain but he should have bided his time until Eto'o retired and when he saw the likes of Milla come over to Eto'o he should have kept his mouth shut, now with Eto'o suspended his power is obviously waining, sometimes you have to pick your fights.
