Mourinho insists on Vinícius and aims for harmony with Mbappé

José Mourinho is determined to rely on Vinícius Júnior at Real Madrid, despite his recent dip in form. One of the Portuguese coach's main objectives is to achieve the best possible synergy between him and Kylian Mbappé.

According to "Mundo Deportivo", journalist Thomas Roncero confirmed during the "El Larguero" program that Mourinho does not think about excluding Vinícius from the starting lineup, but rather sees him as a key player in his project with Real Madrid.

Roncero explained that Mourinho knows he needs Vinícius and does not want to lose him, as he understands how important he is to the team, while also pointing out that the Brazilian player is not in his best form, especially in terms of attacking.

Mourinho is keen to support Vinícius, emphasizing that the Portuguese coach sees the team as Vinícius and 10 other players.

The Spanish newspaper reported that Mourinho's main goal is for Vinícius to finally gel with Kylian Mbappé, after no coach has succeeded so far in turning the duo into a terrifying attacking partnership for opponents, despite both shining and scoring goals at different times.

Roncero confirmed that Bellingham is currently playing in his ideal position as a number 10, expecting him to regain his form and score more goals, while emphasizing that Vinícius is not facing any threat regarding his starting position with Real Madrid.
