MOURINHO'S 4 BIG TACTICAL PUZZLES AT REAL MADRID

Making a fluctuating start to the new season at the helm of Real Madrid and recently losing the derby against Atletico Madrid 2-1, the Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho uses the international break intensely to restructure his team. According to the detailed analysis Diario SPORT transferred, the experienced coach has 4 big tactical knots to solve. The first big problem emerges in the right back position. Mourinho keeps Denzel Dumfries in the starting 11 ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold due to his defensive security and physical strength, but Trent's attacking contribution makes this decision difficult. The second crisis happens in the center back line. Currently, the duo of Ibrahima Konate and Dean Huijsen plays in harmony, but how Eder Militao, who is about to return from injury, will be integrated into the team creates a massive question mark. The third tactical dilemma appears in the center of the midfield. The duo of Aurelien Tchouameni and Fede Valverde adds a tremendous energy and defensive resistance to the team, but a serious lack of creativity stands out in the playmaking phase. At this point, Bernardo Silva definitely needs to get more time with his deep playmaker role. The fourth and biggest headache occurs in the attacking line. The Brazilian star Vinicius Junior made a highly out-of-form start to the season and stays below expectations. In contrast, while Arda Guler offers an incredible creativity, Yan Diomande carries the potential to completely change the attacking line with his explosive power. Mourinho supports the out-of-form Vinicius for now, but the starting 11 pressure of Arda and Diomande increases day by day. The Portuguese manager will produce permanent solutions to these 4 basic problems in the tough fixture in October and will determine the fate of Real Madrid.
