Real Madrid have made an excellent start to the season. The team has combined strong performances with equally impressive results: nine points from nine, 10 goals scored and only two conceded. The football has become increasingly attractive, but above all, the side looks solid, cohesive and united.

No individual player needs to be singled out, as the entire squad has started the campaign in good form.

Much of the credit is being given to José Mourinho. According to various reports, the club already considers his return a success, with some even describing him as "the best signing of the summer."

The Portuguese manager arrived with a project focused on several areas, with one of his main priorities being the restoration of a strong and healthy dressing room. In just over a month, he has reportedly managed to get the squad pulling in the same direction after the interpersonal issues that had been evident over the previous two seasons.

According to Juanfe Sanz of El Chiringuito, Real Madrid have also rediscovered a strong work ethic. The journalist claims that sources close to the club have highlighted a level of discipline that had not been seen for years.

However, Mourinho's approach has reportedly been different from what many expected. Rather than relying on coercion, the Portuguese manager has focused on dialogue and persuasion, an approach that appears to be producing positive results.

"He's being very persuasive, and there's a feeling of absolute respect for him."

Mourinho has managed to impose order while maintaining the trust and affection of his players, with the early signs suggesting that his methods are already having a significant impact both on and off the pitch.
