AS: Mourinho Has Won Support From Core Players Including Vinicius, Mbappe and Bellingham

According to a report from AS, Mourinho has already secured the support of players such as Bellingham, Vinicius and Mbappe inside the dressing room.

According to the report, Xabi Alonso's squad-building plan during his time as Real Madrid manager was hindered by various factors, but the main reason was undoubtedly the loss of trust from several influential figures in the dressing room. The clearest example was Vinicius, while Bellingham and Valverde were also not convinced by him. Mbappe and Guler, meanwhile, were on his side.

However, this division ultimately led to his dismissal. Arbeloa did not fare much better either. He previously had a good relationship with Vinicius, but at the same time appeared too distant from Mbappe, which eventually caused problems. The dressing room atmosphere became so tense that it even developed into a conflict between Tchouameni and Valverde, with both players fined 500,000 euros.

This was the situation Mourinho faced when he arrived at Real Madrid: a fragmented dressing room and a team that had forgotten how to compete. More importantly, he also had to repair his relationship with Vinicius after the 'Prestianni incident'. However, the first few matches of the season have shown that the Real Madrid dressing room is behind Mourinho, especially the key players.

Mourinho has convinced everyone, and a few remarks after Real Madrid's match against Inter Milan showed that. Although the team's performance still needs improvement and the atmosphere at the Bernabeu was somewhat tense, the key players still clearly expressed their support for Mourinho.

Starting with Vinicius, although his inspiration has still not returned, he has been very active defensively, making as many as nine tackles. When he was substituted, he was met with some whistles, and Mourinho then backed him and encouraged the stands to applaud him.

As for Mbappe, he has not yet reached his best form, but he has already scored five goals this season. He opened the scoring for Real Madrid against Inter Milan when the team was facing its toughest period in the match. Bellingham's attitude is similar. Mourinho already considers him one of the team's most important attacking weapons. He does not want Bellingham to stay in the center, nor does he want him to track back on the wing; instead, he wants him closer to the penalty area and scoring goals constantly.
