José Mourinho appears to have found a way to make Real Madrid a more balanced team, with the side showing greater fluidity in attack and improved connections between the different lines. Bernardo Silva has emerged as a key figure in this transformation, becoming the ideal partner to dictate play from the double pivot and provide the control the midfield had been missing.

According to Marca, the Portuguese coach has found in his compatriot the solution to improving the team's ball circulation. Bernardo brings composure, vision and the ability to orchestrate attacks, helping Real Madrid combine more effectively and get the ball to their forwards. His presence also means the team no longer has to rely so heavily on the pace and individual quality of its attackers.

A major part of this improvement comes from Bernardo's role alongside the other midfielder in the double pivot. Rather than staying in a fixed position, he contributes to the build-up, offers passing options and helps the team play through opposition pressure. His understanding of space allows Real Madrid to find alternative routes forward when opponents try to close down access to the penalty area.

The change has also benefited the forwards. With more accurate distribution and better-organized possession, they receive the ball in more favourable positions and can make better use of their individual strengths. As a result, Real Madrid are finding it easier to create scoring opportunities without constantly depending on individual moments of brilliance.
