Real Madrid: José Mourinho's strategic plan for Yan Diomandé

The most expensive signing in Real Madrid's history this summer, Yan Diomandé is expected to be a starter for Real Madrid. But José Mourinho has a very specific plan to take as much pressure off him as possible.

This summer, Yan Diomandé became the most expensive player in Real Madrid's history at just 19 years old. Despite the Ivorian international's impressive statistics with RB Leipzig last season, José Mourinho opted for caution, giving him only 25, 6, and 26 minutes of playing time in the first three matches of the season.

The Special One refuses to rush his integration under the pretext of his transfer fee. According to AS in its latest edition, the coach is prioritizing a gradual increase in playing time to avoid putting undue pressure on him, prevent him from playing too many matches too soon, and respect the established hierarchy in the dressing room with players like Arda Güler and Brahim Díaz. This approach will prevent him from getting carried away at the start, as happened last season with Franco Mastantuono.

This measured playing time is fully in line with a roadmap established from the outset between the coach and Yan Diomandé. AS also reports that the absolute trust between the two men facilitates this management. Following this adaptation plan, the Ivorian is patiently waiting, aware that this learning phase in training will allow him to establish himself permanently as an undisputed starter at Real Madrid.
