Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho appears to have found the right formula to get the best out of his squad, with Los Blancos recording eight consecutive victories across all competitions.

The Spanish giants continued their impressive run with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Valencia at Mestalla on Saturday, thanks to goals from Federico Valverde, Arda Guler and Kylian Mbappe.

According to MARCA, as reported by Madrid Universal, Mourinho has transformed Real Madrid into a more organised and disciplined side following a difficult start to his second spell at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Mourinho’s Tactical Changes To Real Madrid’s Set-Up

The Portuguese tactician’s tactical adjustments have produced an immediate improvement, with Madrid scoring 24 goals in their last eight matches, an average of three per game.

Los Blancos have also kept three clean sheets during that period, underlining the progress they have made defensively.

Their impressive winning streak includes victories over Barcelona in El Clasico, as well as Roma, RB Leipzig and AEK Athens in the Champions League.

However, beyond the results, Mourinho will be particularly encouraged by the growing understanding among his players.

Madrid’s attacking players have started working more effectively as a unit, with Mbappe, Guler, Yan Diomande and Jude Bellingham developing a promising partnership.

The quartet have complemented one another’s strengths, allowing Madrid to become less reliant on moments of individual brilliance to break down opponents.

That improvement was evident against Valencia, where Mourinho’s men overcame a difficult opening period before taking control of proceedings.

Attacking Players Contributing Defensively

Another significant aspect of Madrid’s resurgence has been the willingness of their attacking players to contribute defensively.

During the encounter at Mestalla, Mbappe demonstrated that commitment when he sprinted back to cover for Guler after the Turkish midfielder was caught out of position following a turnover.

The France international has previously faced criticism over his defensive contributions, but his recent performances suggest he is adapting to Mourinho’s demands.

For the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager, that collective responsibility has become an important feature of his team’s transformation.

Nevertheless, Mourinho still faces a selection challenge ahead of Vinicius Junior’s return from suspension.

The Brazilian winger’s reintegration could alter the balance of Madrid’s attack, particularly given the understanding already developing among the current attacking players.

Mourinho will therefore need to find a way to accommodate Vinicius without disrupting the tactical structure that has helped Madrid rediscover their winning form.

With eight consecutive victories already secured, Los Blancos will be hoping their renewed collective strength can provide the foundation for a successful campaign.
