Alex Song’s selection for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil comes as a surprise to many, considering his limited playing time at FC Barcelona this season. The Cameroonian midfielder has struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup due to stiff competition, especially from the likes of Sergio Busquets.
Despite this, coach Volker Finke has included Song in the Indomitable Lions’ squad, emphasizing his contributions in the few games he played for Barcelona. Finke acknowledges the challenge Song faces as a backup to Busquets but believes it’s not something the player should be ashamed of.
However, Finke also hints at the importance for Song to consider his future, suggesting that at his age, he should aim for more regular playing time to further his career.
