Elephant challenges Mourinho after four matches
Real Madrid, led by coach José Mourinho, suffered its first defeat of the season after losing to Real Betis, prompting questions about Mourinho's decisions in managing the team’s star players. Despite several opportunities, especially the penalty missed by Kylian Mbappé, the team's performance revealed challenges in handling some players, particularly Vinícius Júnior, who did not deliver the expected level of performance despite contributing to goals. Mourinho's decisions regarding substitutions, such as bringing out Arda Güler despite his good performance, and his defense of those choices after the match, raised questions about his authority within the locker room—especially given that he kept Vinícius on the field until the end despite his underwhelming display. The results suggest that Mourinho is facing a real challenge in asserting his authority, and that Vinícius still holds significant influence within the team. This highlights the delicate balance of power between the coach and the star players at Real Madrid.
