Bernardo Silva, a 32-year-old Portuguese midfielder, has lost prominence in the merengue team since joining Real Madrid just two months ago from Manchester City. The player has only accumulated 8 minutes with the white team since September 12, and his situation with José Mourinho raises doubts after starting the season as a starter.

Bernardo Silva hardly plays with José Mourinho

The Portuguese international arrived during the last summer transfer window to provide alternatives in the creation of play. However, his participation has significantly decreased during the recent LaLiga matches, to the point of almost disappearing from the line-ups.

In the eight league matches played by the team, Bernardo Silva has taken part in six games, three as a starter and three coming off the bench. His stats show 282 minutes, no goals, and one assist.

According to Sport, the decline started after the match against Rayo Vallecano on September 12. Since then, he has only played eight minutes against Atlético Madrid, being left out against Elche and Villarreal. Mourinho has forgotten Bernardo Silva and is opting for other choices in the midfield.

The change is partly due to Jose Mourinho's tactical decisions. The coach has started to rely on a midfield duo of Fede Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni, while Arda Güler has also gained importance.

This setup limits Bernardo Silva's chances of playing in central positions or near the attack. The Portuguese had begun the season taking on various roles but currently struggles to find space in the rotation.

Real Madrid is also monitoring his physical condition

Another factor that could explain his limited involvement is his physical condition. During the preseason, Mourinho publicly acknowledged that the player returned from vacation below the expected fitness level.

The coach believed he needed to improve his preparation to face the competitive demands. However, the club has not recently reported any injury justifying his absence from the line-ups.

This situation has also affected his time with the Portugal national team. In the recent international commitments, the midfielder barely played seven minutes, spread across two matches against Norway.

His lack of continuity contrasts with the consistency he maintained during his time at Manchester City. Since he began his professional career with Monaco in 2014, the Portuguese used to play between 44 and 58 matches per season.

His arrival at Madrid had raised expectations due to this track record. The team needed players capable of organizing play and providing solutions between the lines, qualities that justified his signing during the summer.

Bernardo Silva has a new opportunity in the Champions League

The upcoming matches will determine if the Portuguese regains prominence. The schedule includes clashes against Roma in the Champions League, along with fixtures against Sevilla and FC Barcelona in the domestic league.

The European competition offers a chance to change his situation, especially since he hasn't debuted in the Champions League this season yet. His absence against Inter was due to a suspension from his time in England.

For now, Bernardo Silva awaits another opportunity from José Mourinho. The game against Roma will be the next occasion to see if the coach includes the Portuguese or continues with his current preference for other midfielders.
