José Mourinho has publicly pointed out one of Real Madrid's signings this summer, Bernardo Silva, justifying his almost nonexistent participation in the team despite being one of the big signings of the market.

The Real Madrid coach has left a player who arrived on a free transfer in July after nine seasons at Manchester City and signed for 2 seasons, accumulating just 302 minutes in 7 matches, with only 3 starts throughout the season on the bench.

José Mourinho's harsh comments on Bernardo Silva's physical condition

Mourinho was blunt in explaining why he hardly counts on a player meant to bring creativity to the midfield of the Chamartín entity. "He is a very important player, fantastic for us. But unfortunately, when he goes on vacation, he likes to completely disconnect, he doesn't work...so he arrived physically well below his usual standards, now he needs to work hard," said the coach, exposing the lack of form in which the 32-year-old midfielder presented himself.

Also questioned about why he doesn't field the Arda Güler-Bernardo Silva duo, the manager was categorical: "If the team that finished the match today had started, we would have lost 5-0. It worked in the last minutes due to a special situation, but it wouldn't have worked for 90 minutes."

Eight minutes since September for a star signing with no role at Real Madrid

The midfielder has only played 282 minutes in LaLiga with 0 goals and 1 assist, having only featured for 8 minutes in the white shirt since September 12. Despite being a player used to surpassing 3,000 minutes per season in England, the Portuguese was on the bench against Malaga, Betis, Elche, and Villarreal, in addition to being suspended in the Champions League debut against Inter.

With the pairing of Federico Valverde-Aurélien Tchouaméni solidified in midfield and Arda Güler in the playmaker role, Mourinho's star signing continues to have no place in the starting eleven.

The Real Madrid coaching staff will assess the Portuguese's response in the training sessions leading up to the matches against Sevilla and FC Barcelona.

If the player does not increase his physical intensity, José Mourinho will maintain his firm stance and continue to carefully manage the participation of Bernardo Silva.
