Should Jose Mourinho continue starting Yan Diomande over Vinicius Junior? | ESPN FC

Simple. Current winning team must start with Yan Diomande. Vini Jr must come later from the bench when we are leading. He must proof himself to climb the hierarchy. We can not rely on the history how Vini Jr rescued us against Manchester City, PSG etc in the champions league. Madridista from Namibia.

The question for Mourinho isn’t whether to start or not start Vinicius, it’s how can he make the guy play well again so he has more options for a packed schedule. If he has a in form Vini and a Diomande who can terrorise on both left and right, then he’s got a lot more ammo for an La Liga and Champs league run.

Vini is a big problem and should have never been resigned. He needs to leave. Don’t care about past achievements. He did not win the UCL single handedly. It was won by a team and players like Benz, Courtoise, Modric, Kroos & the defenders played a bigger part during those wins. Watch the game and stop being a mindless fanboy!

It is no surprise that Madrid’s best football under Alonso came without Bellingham<br>Under Arbeloa without Mbappé<br>And under Mourinho without Vinícius<br><br>The team loses its balance regardless of their form when all three play together<br><br>With all three in the lineup you have three players who like the ball at their feet<br>Two of them do not defend<br>And all three tend to drift to the left<br><br>That means you are missing other profiles in the team<br>The attack becomes concentrated down the left because that is where your best players are<br>And out of possession your left back is exposed<br><br>I would choose to keep Mbappé and Jude without any hesitation for reasons so obvious that anyone who understands football needs no explanation<br><br>Especially with Diomande in the team<br>That makes the decision easier and clearer
