José Mourinho asks for patience with Yan Diomande at Real Madrid

Real Madrid coach José Mourinho is urging patience regarding the integration of Yan Diomande into the club. The 19-year-old forward joined Real Madrid from Leipzig earlier this month for a reported 125 million euros but has yet to score after three substitute appearances. Mourinho highlighted the young player's work ethic and potential during a press conference following Sunday's 4-0 win over Malaga. The coach emphasized that Diomande requires time to adjust rather than immediately replicating the form he showed in the Bundesliga last season. Real Madrid currently maintains an undefeated record through its first three La Liga matches of the season. The team prepares for a domestic fixture against Real Betis on Friday before entering Champions League competition against Inter Milan on Sept. 8.
