@X-Man:
Je complète l'article de la Galoise, il prend tout son sens quand on le lit en entier.
"Putting team performance ahead of individualism, the "Freiburg Way" came about to describe their use of clever, technically-talented players - it would go on to become a national blueprint for the future.
As well as this, the doing-away of the seemingly immovable sweeper and preference for playing the ball through the middle meant that, tactically, he was baffling for the analysts of the time.
However, quoted in 2001 as saying that "the tactical advantage we used to have is gone", it must be remembered that this style of play is almost commonplace now in football.
Difficult to enforce the same disciplines on a team who only meet up every couple of months, Finke will not have the tactical surprise that he enjoyed in Germany with Cameroon now his ideas are so widely established, and the extent to which Cameroon have the same set of players which fit his ideas may also be debatable.
A team that in recent years has been so dominated by the presence of Samuel Eto'o, along with a lack of intelligent, creative players in the centre of the pitch, means that Finke cannot necessarily revert to old tricks.
On the other hand, if fighters are what Finke wants, then fighters he most certainly has in Cameroon. A midfield with a battling capacity to envy most armies, and a front line who will certainly do their fair share of running about the pitch, it would seem in some senses
