To some capacity, the big decision was actually made for Mourinho with Vinicius' suspension, which in my opinion is an incredibly timely and needed suspension, both for Vinicius to get a mental reset and a physical reset, but also for Real Madrid because they need to not have him and Mbappé on the field.
I forget who it was on the podcast was like, am I allowed to say that? And I'm like, yeah, it's objectively true that the Vinicius suspension actually helps us in this situation.
Because it's the only way to get Vinicius and Mbappe to be separated and try to put together a more harmonized attack, if you will.
So one of the big decisions today was Dumfries and Trent again for the second consecutive game, both on the bench.
And Mourinho also put it... apt aptly when he said listen if i had like three four fetters i put one out right back one right wing one in the midfield etc now i'm a firm believer that the fedex needs to not exist ever um i believe you need to throw in one of bernardo or arda in there and i wish i could have asked jose about it tonight i couldn't but a couple people did ask something similar and moreno did say like look when one of them's in there we have control we have creativity We do know that Chuo Menni will play the Classico.
How do we know that it's basically just putting things together? Bernardo Silva started the first couple games when Chiuameni was injured.
