Mourinho's plan is to make Mbappe the key player at Real Madrid.
Coach Jose Mourinho is building a new tactical system at Real Madrid to optimize Kylian Mbappe's finishing ability, along with significant changes to Vinicius and Bellingham.
According to the latest information from AS, coach Jose Mourinho is secretly building a special tactical system at Real Madrid. The core objective of this plan is to make Kylian Mbappe the linchpin of the team's play, allowing the French striker to maximize his goal-scoring instincts in his new environment.
Space optimization tactics for Mbappe
Specifically, Mourinho intends to have Kylian Mbappe initiate attacks from outside the penalty area. This approach not only helps Mbappe avoid being surrounded by opposing defenders in tight spaces but also creates more room for him to take powerful long-range shots.
Deploying Mbappe in a flexible position outside the penalty area is expected to give Real Madrid a significant boost in attacking play. In that scenario, the French superstar's speed and individual skill would become a devastating weapon against any defense.
The transfers of Vinicius and Jude Bellingham
Although Real Madrid's official squad for next season is still being finalized, the first outlines of a system designed to "serve" Mbappe are gradually emerging. Mourinho is demanding sacrifices and role changes from the current stars to create the most comprehensive support environment for the French newcomer.
In this formation, Vinicius Junior will likely have to drop deeper than his previous pure winger role to participate more in ball circulation. Conversely, Jude Bellingham will be pushed higher up the pitch, acting as an attacking midfielder or false striker to press into the penalty area. This adjustment leverages Bellingham's ability to penetrate the penalty box while opening up flanks for Mbappe to cut inside.
Overview of the international transfer market
Besides the tactical changes at the Bernabeu, European football has also witnessed other noteworthy news. Striker Mason Greenwood is reportedly set to join his next club after ending his time at Manchester United.
At Manchester City, Anderson's salary has also been revealed, showing the club's well-deserved compensation for its key players. Meanwhile, young talent Rogers expressed his desire to play alongside Jude Bellingham, demonstrating the growing influence of the Real Madrid star on his younger colleagues in the England national team.
