Thirteen years after his departure, José Mourinho is back at the helm of Real Madrid. His mission will obviously be to put the Merengue club back in the spotlight after two blank seasons. And to do this, the Lusitano technician will have to succeed in putting his offensive stars in the best possible conditions, while creating a compact and rigorous block on the defensive level.
Concerning the role of Kylian Mbappé, José Mourinho would have decided to place him at the heart of his system in 4-2-3-1 or 5-3-2, reports the daily The Team. The “Special one” plan would be to raise the captain of the Blues to the same level of influence and effectiveness as Cristiano Ronaldo at the time.
The former Chelsea coach would have been confirmed in his choice to make Mbappé his figurehead during the World Cup. It must be said that the kid from Bondy once again made an impression with his goals, finishing as the tournament’s top scorer with 10 goals.
Mourinho on Mbappé: “I will do everything to help him become even better”
“I am here to help, not to criticize. Mbappé is a phenomenal player, and I will do everything to help him become even better”the Portuguese told Vanity Fair at the beginning of the summer.
José Mourinho’s other challenge will be to bring together Mbappé, Vinicius and Bellingham, or even Michael Olise if the latter were to be transferred to the White House. What is not won, Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa broke their teeth there.
