well in France it's definitely teamwork i think since the stars at Lyon and Marseille simply aren't that outstanding anymore. Lyon's midfield is very compared o how it was 2-3 years ago. Juninho the linchpin has gone and nobody looks remotley like replacing him, even the great young player Pjanic isn't quite there yet. Gourcuff has been average, and there's nobody else in that midfield talented enough. Lisandro also has had injury problems and you can't expect wonders from Gomis and especially Briand. their defence isn't as good as it once was either.
In Germany and Italy you have Napoli and Lazio who yes you would consider as teams who you would see as having a good season because of their team work, but like with Dortmund who seemingly have been working almost telepathically, they do have some very talented players, Dortmund especially but players like Hernanes, Cavani, Lavezzi, Gargano, Zarate, Ledesma etc.. are very good players none the less, setting up a level this season
