The Madrid "Real" coach Jose Mourinho has already selected the footballers who will always start the matches in the starting lineup this season.

According to "El Larguero", the Portuguese tactician has marked places for Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius, Jude Bellingham, Yann Diomande, Marcus Cucurella, and Thibaut Courtois in his tactical schemes.

Despite an impressive end to last season and good form during the preparation period, the Turkish player Arda Güler, according to the press, is currently behind J. Bellingham in the number ten position.

In the right-back position, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Denzel Dumfries will compete for a place in the starting lineup.

In the center-back line, there is a fierce competitive battle among Dean Huijsen, Ibrahima Konaté, and Antonio Rudiger.

In the defensive midfield line, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga are vying for places in the starting eleven.

The first match of the new "La Liga" season will see "Real" play against Barcelona's "Espanyol" on Saturday.
