The head coach of Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho, has identified the players who, according to his plan, will become the basis of the team for the 2026/27 season. AS informs about this.

For information from Gerela, a place is guaranteed at the starting warehouse, saving the goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. On the left flank of the defense, the main player in the camp is the team's newcomer Mark Cucurella.

In midfield, Mourinho bets on Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham. Offensive midfielders may play a key role in the future of the Madrid club.

The leaders of the attack will lose Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. It appears that the Portuguese attacker is working on a new tactical model in order to maximize the bombardment capabilities of the French attacker.

Mourinho also plans to use Bellingham in an attacking role, similar to what he played against England at the World Cup. It turns out that the English player is more likely to connect before the attacks are completed and are closer to the opponent’s penalty area.
