The latest news from Real Madrid is that they face new criticism after the 2-1 defeat against Atlético de Madrid, with José Mourinho at the center of the debate. Siro López believes that the coach should handle Vinicius' minutes differently and review the double pivot formed by Aurelién Tchouaméni and Fede Valverde.

The outcome of the derby has sparked analysis over some decisions made by Mourinho at the start of the season. López particularly focuses on two issues: the Brazilian's continuity in the starting eleven and the composition of the midfield.

Vinicius, the first debate for José Mourinho at Real Madrid

Vinicius' situation is one of the points raised by Siro López. The journalist believes that the winger should not be guaranteed to play every minute and thinks that José Mourinho should consider giving him a rest to try to regain his best form. Mourinho has identified Vinicius' major flaw and is working on it.

The way the derby was managed already showed a significant change. Mourinho substituted Vinicius in the 54th minute when Real Madrid was playing with ten men and trailing behind. The Brazilian had completed eight passes and made one dribble before being replaced.

López asserts that there is concern within the club about how to recover the player and suggests that temporarily reducing his prominence could be part of that management. He questions not only his current performance but also the idea that his starting position should be separate from his form.

Mourinho, on his end, continues to support the attacker. The coach has kept the Brazilian in his main lineup at the start of the season and sees it as crucial to get him back to his best for the remainder of the campaign.

Tchouaméni and Fede Valverde, the other doubt at Real Madrid

The second issue directly concerns the midfield. Siro López believes that Aurelién Tchouaméni and Fede Valverde do not form a complementary enough pair to sustain Real Madrid's double pivot.

Mourinho started both against Elche and repeated the formula against Atlético. At the Metropolitano, Tchouaméni and Valverde played ahead of the defense in the 4-2-3-1 setup chosen by the Portuguese manager.

López criticizes the collective performance of that combination. According to him, their attributes do not fully address the team's issues in ball circulation, especially when Madrid needs to control the game through possession and progress the ball from central areas.

The Portuguese coach trusts in Tchouaméni and Valverde

The debate gains weight as Mourinho has stuck with this choice even after Tchouaméni's return to the team. Fede Valverde also maintains a central role in the coach's plans, so any alteration would require a new distribution of responsibilities.

López also warns about the need for Mourinho to maintain his own ideas and not repeat decisions that, in his view, harmed previous club coaches. The upcoming matches will show whether José Mourinho sticks with his current choices or makes adjustments after the international break. For Real Madrid, managing Vinicius and configuring the midfield stand out as immediate decisions that the coach must address.
