Yan Diomande is starting to find his place at Real Madrid. Already starting against Rayo Vallecano, the Ivorian winger continued Monday evening against Elche during Madrid’s victory (3-2). So far silent on the statistical level, he offered his first assist under his new colors by perfectly serving Kylian Mbappé for Real’s second goal. A performance praised by José Mourinho: “ He is progressing. Physically, we see that he is starting to get more minutes in his legs. He has a very good work capacity, he is intelligent and he had a great match. »
This second consecutive start confirms the growing confidence placed by Mourinho in his recruit. Against Elche, Diomande stood out in particular for his activity on the right side and his ability to create differences, with this acceleration concluded by a precise cross for Mbappé. Still in the adaptation phase since his arrival in Madrid, the Ivorian international is starting to weigh more in the game and has above all just unlocked his assists counter with Real.
