No Fireworks yet but José Mourinho Calls for Patience with Real Madrid's Yan Diomande
Mourinho said the 19-year-old needs to go little by little after three substitute appearances and no goals in Madrid.
- On Sunday, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho urged patience with forward Yan Diomande following Madrid's 4-0 win over Malaga. The 19-year-old has yet to score in three substitute appearances.
- Diomande joined Madrid for 125 million euros from Leipzig earlier this month, creating high expectations. Mourinho emphasized the player's potential despite the massive transfer fee.
- His credentials justified the investment: 12 goals and nine assists in 33 Bundesliga appearances for Leipzig last season, plus an outstanding World Cup performance before Ivory Coast's elimination by Norway.
- Mourinho defended the gradual approach, saying "he needs to go little by little" as Diomande has logged only 20, 15, or 30 minutes across three matches so far.
- Madrid faces Real Betis in La Liga on Friday before welcoming Inter Milan in the Champions League on Sept. 8, offering Diomande further opportunities to prove his worth.
