5 changes at Real Madrid under Mourinho

Spanish journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon has highlighted five positive points that have emerged at Real Madrid since José Mourinho took over as head coach, confirming a clear improvement in several aspects compared to the previous period.

Alvarez stated that the spirit within the team has improved, with a greater leadership presence and clear cooperation among the players, alongside the absence of problems and tension in the dressing room, which has positively reflected on the group.

He pointed to the improvement in the defensive system and high pressing, as Real Madrid has become more capable of regaining possession in advanced areas and exploiting turnovers from the opponent to create quick chances, with Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé committed to their defensive duties.

The performance levels of several players have been highlighted, including Álvaro Carreiras, Haoussen, and Jude Bellingham, while Arda Güler's brilliance has been described as exceptional and extraordinary under José Mourinho's management.

Alvarez believes Real Madrid have become better in organized attacking, especially through off-the-ball movement and dealing with tight spaces against big teams, despite some ongoing difficulties in building play from the back.

The final point concerns the physical aspect, highlighting improvements in players' fitness levels and a decrease in injuries compared to previous seasons during the same period, with players who suffered long-term injuries continuing to recover.
