Mourinho's Madrid era ends
Real Madrid coach José Mourinho relies in his new season on a radical tactical transformation, moving away from his old methods that focused on a solid double pivot. During preparations for the season, the team demonstrated dependence on players like Bernardo Silva and Arda Güler in more advanced and flexible defensive roles—for example, Silva playing as a secondary pivot alongside Chouaméni, and Güler positioned behind Bellingham. This role was considered impossible under Mourinho’s previous style. This change is an attempt to modernize the playing philosophy, and it will be tested in the first official match against Espanyol, where Mourinho aims to confirm that this shift involves both the style of play and his tactics, despite his team starting the La Liga season one point behind.
