According to Marca, Bellingham, Mbappé, and Vinicius have all started in Real Madrid's first six matches under Mourinho, with no plans to rest them against Elche and Atlético Madrid.

Mourinho has quickly identified Real Madrid's new backbone. Beyond Courtois, the BMV trio of Bellingham, Mbappé, and Vinicius are utterly unshakeable. All three have started Real Madrid's opening six matches this season, and the Portuguese coach's plan is to keep them in the starting lineup against both Elche and Atlético Madrid. Even with the derby looming, Mourinho shows no intention of rotating them. There will be no rest.

The numbers reflect the manager's absolute trust in these three star players. Mbappé has played every minute: 540 out of 540. Vinicius has missed just 10 minutes, all of it late-game substitution time; Bellingham has played a total of 515 minutes. Combined, the three have missed just 35 minutes across the first six league rounds.

Real Madrid's High-Intensity Approach

Mourinho's choice also stems from his tactical philosophy. As he stated after the match against Rayo Vallecano, the Portuguese coach wants to build a "high-intensity" team that plays direct football and can punish opponents in open spaces. To execute this plan, he believes it is essential to have his three most explosive and best attacking players on the pitch simultaneously.

Currently, Mbappé remains the cornerstone of the attack. As the only forward playing every minute, he has already scored 7 goals this season. Mourinho wants him on the pitch constantly, even when matches are decided, because he believes every minute helps the French striker maintain his rhythm, build confidence, and sharpen his goal-scoring instinct. He sees Mbappé as his Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bellingham is also hitting his stride. The English midfielder is once again active across all areas of the pitch, capable of making late runs into the box, supporting the team, and increasingly involved in building attacks. What pleases Mourinho most, however, is his leadership. Bellingham is a key figure in the dressing room, both on and off the pitch, and this temperament aligns perfectly with the manager's demands for a core player.

Vini, Waiting for Goals

As for Vinicius, his performances continue to improve. Mourinho is pleased with his progress and has stated so publicly. The manager believes the Brazilian winger is just one goal away from returning to the elite form that made him one of football's most dangerous attackers.

Mourinho is working hard to build his confidence, provide consistent playing time, and give him a central role. He wants Vinicius to feel important, and the best way to achieve this is by keeping him on the pitch. Mourinho understands that stars need confidence and responsibility, and he has balanced both since arriving on the bench.

The Portuguese coach has one goal: to win. To do so, he wants his best players happy, engaged, and performing at their peak. Mourinho manages each player in the way he deems most effective, but the message for all three is the same: keep them on the pitch as much as possible. At this Real Madrid, BMV will not be rotated.
