Jose Mourinho is planning an international break to fix the problems of Real Madrid, and one of the main tasks will be the dismissal of Vinicius Junior.
According to AS, the coaching staff is considering tactical changes that could help the Brazilian perform effectively in the attack.
In the first eight matches of the season, Vinicius scored one goal and provided three assists. This match in the Madrid derby against Atletico ended with a 1:2 defeat of Real Madrid, also bolstering the winger’s difficulties at the start of the campaign.
However, Mourinho has no plans to bench the Brazilian. The current coach wants to speed up the rotation of players on the field in order to change the role of Vinicius’ defensive work on the left flank.
One of the options transfers additional support from the side of the defensive player, which is an insurable flank under the hour of defense. It's better to allow Venisius to be closer to his opponent's goal more often and to focus on dangerous moments in the making.
Mourinho believes that such changes will help Real Madrid improve their results and strengthen their position in the fight for the La Liga and Champions League titles.
