Jose Mourinho has made significant changes at Real Madrid after a month in charge. He aims to improve both player performance and dressing room unity through stricter discipline, including mandatory meal plans and punctuality standards. Players are now required to arrive an hour early for training, with those late facing gym workouts instead of team practice.
