Güler plays several roles as Mourinho settles on a front three

Arda Güler isn’t tied to one spot in Mourinho’s Madrid. Kooora says he has started nine times in attacking trios, once as an advanced playmaker and once in a double pivot. Madrid’s most-used trio was Güler, Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior, appearing in five matches. More recently, Mourinho settled on a trio of Yan Diomandi, Güler and Mbappé, which played four. The report says Güler’s flexibility, alongside Valverde’s varied roles, lets the team change its approach without necessarily changing every name in the lineup.
