今年夏天，当何塞·穆里尼奥再次推开皇家马德里的大门时，距离他上次离开这家俱乐部已经过去了13年。
When Jose Mourinho walked back through the doors at Real Madrid this summer, 13 years had passed since he last left the club.
他带着熟悉的名声和巨大的期望归来，但面临的却是一个截然不同的挑战。
He returned with a familiar reputation and enormous expectations, but facing a very different challenge.
穆里尼奥签下了一份为期三年的合同，俱乐部希望他能在经历了两个无冠赛季后，重新为球队带来稳定与成功。
Mourinho was handed a three-year contract, with the club hoping he could restore stability as well as success after two trophyless seasons.
如今，在他第二次执教皇马的七场联赛过后，上赛季的一些熟悉矛盾已经再度浮现。
Now, seven league matches into his second spell, some of the familiar tensions of last season have already resurfaced.
被死敌马德里竞技击败，让球迷开始质疑皇马的稳定性以及穆里尼奥的战术思路。
Defeat by rivals Atletico Madrid has left supporters questioning Real Madrid's consistency and Mourinho's approach.
这位葡萄牙教练现在拥有充裕的时间，在一个异常漫长的三周国际比赛日期间思考自己的选择。皇马直到10月10日星期六主场迎战比利亚雷亚尔才会再次出战，两周后还将前往巴塞罗那客场作战。
The Portuguese coach now has plenty of time to consider his options during an unusually long three-week international break. Madrid do not play again until they host Villarreal on Saturday, 10 October - and travel to Barcelona two weeks later.
穆里尼奥对这段休赛期有所顾虑，但这也是一个早期机会，让他可以审视现状，并为接下来的一系列比赛做好准备。这些比赛将更多地揭示他在伯纳乌第二次执教生涯的方向。
Mourinho has concerns about the break, but it is an early opportunity to take stock and prepare for a run of fixtures that could tell us much more about the direction of his second spell at the Bernabeu.
对穆里尼奥而言，在马竞的德比失利是一个令人清醒的提醒，让他意识到自己所承担挑战的规模之大。
For Mourinho, the derby defeat at Atletico Madrid was a sobering reminder of the scale of the challenge he has taken on.
尽管他将失利的主要原因归咎于上半场两个他认为不利于己方的判罚——克里斯蒂安·罗梅罗对裘德·贝林厄姆的亮鞋钉犯规未被红牌罚下，以及李刚仁对费德里科·巴尔韦德类似的犯规未受处罚——但现实是，球队的表现确实不够好。
Despite blaming much of the loss on two first-half decisions he felt went against his side - Cristian Romero escaping a red card for his studs-up challenge on Jude Bellingham and Lee Kang-in going unpunished for a similar challenge on Federico Valverde - the reality is that their performance was simply not good enough.
这意味着皇马目前在西甲联赛中排名第四，而卫冕冠军巴塞罗那已经领先他们六分。巴萨七场联赛全胜，打入31球，其中拉菲尼亚已经攻入12球。
It means Real Madrid sit fourth in La Liga, with defending champions Barcelona already six points ahead. They have won all seven of their league games, scoring 31 goals, with Raphinha already scoring 12 times.
马德里竞技排名第二，皇家贝蒂斯排名第三，两队均落后于汉西·弗里克执教的巴萨五分。
Atletico sit second and Real Betis third, both five points behind Hansi Flick's side.
皇马唯一一次在联赛积分榜上逆转对巴萨六分劣势并最终夺冠，是在法比奥·卡佩罗执教下的2006-07赛季。
The only time Real Madrid have overturned a six-point deficit to Barcelona at the top of La Liga was in Fabio Capello's 2006-07 title triumph.
在马德里竞技一役中的失利，清楚地反映出皇马在中场缺乏控制力的问题。
A clear issue from the defeat at Atletico was Madrid's lack of control in midfield.
穆里尼奥安排楚阿梅尼与巴尔韦德搭档首发，贝林厄姆则位置更靠前。这对组合为皇马带来了活力和防守保障，但他们在掌控比赛节奏或从后场发起进攻方面显得力不从心。贝尔纳多·席尔瓦在最后八分钟替补登场，但那时皇马已经处于追赶比分的境地。
Mourinho started Aurelien Tchouameni alongside Valverde, with Bellingham playing further forward. The pairing gave Madrid energy and defensive security, but they struggled to control the tempo or create enough from deeper areas. Bernardo Silva was introduced for the final eight minutes, but by then Madrid were already chasing the game.
这给穆里尼奥带来了一个有趣的用人抉择。面对防守阵型紧凑的对手，皇马或许需要在中场投入更多的创造力和控制力。
That presents Mourinho with an interesting selection decision. Against opponents who defend in a compact shape, Madrid may need more creativity and control from midfield.
席尔瓦掌控比赛节奏的能力使他成为一个显而易见的选择，而居莱尔则能在前场提供另一种创造力。
Silva's ability to dictate the rhythm of a game makes him an obvious option, while Arda Guler offers another creative presence further forward.
穆里尼奥未必需要放弃双后腰配置，但他必须找到一种方法，让皇马能够更好地掌控比赛。
Mourinho doesn't necessarily need to abandon the double pivot, but he does need to find a way for Real to have more control of matches.
皇家马德里并不缺乏顶尖的个人进攻能力，问题在于如何让这些球员作为一个整体持续发挥作用。
There is no shortage of individual attacking quality at Real Madrid. The problem is making it work consistently as a unit.
对阵马德里竞技时，皇马难以创造出明显的得分机会。姆巴佩的表现基本处于隐身状态，几乎没怎么触球；而维尼修斯在下半场开局不久迪恩·怀森被红牌罚下后，很快就被换下。
Against Atletico, Madrid struggled to create clear chances. Kylian Mbappe was largely ineffective and hardly touched the ball, while Vinicius Jr was substituted shortly after Dean Huijsen's red card early in the second half.
穆里尼奥麾下拥有维尼修斯、姆巴佩和贝林厄姆这三名能够凭借一己之力决定比赛的球员。
Mourinho has three players, in Vinicius, Mbappe and Bellingham, capable of deciding matches on their own.
贝林厄姆带球推进、后插上进入禁区以及串联中前场的能力，是皇马进攻威胁的另一个重要组成部分，但穆里尼奥需要确保这三人能够形成互补，而不是相互挤占空间。
Bellingham's ability to carry the ball forward, arrive late in the box and link midfield with attack is another important part of Madrid's attacking threat, but Mourinho needs to ensure the trio complement rather than crowd each other.
维尼修斯需要找回他那令防守者难以招架的爆发力和冲击力，而姆巴佩则需要更多的传球支持，而不是被迫去独自创造机会。穆里尼奥还可以更多地考虑另一种进攻选择。
Vinicius needs to rediscover the explosiveness and directness that makes him so difficult to defend, while Mbappe needs a greater supply of chances rather than being asked to create opportunities for himself.
卡洛斯·埃斯皮自加盟俱乐部以来已留下深刻印象。在联赛首秀中，他就在对阵西班牙人的比赛中打入第90分钟的制胜球，随后又在对阵埃尔切的比赛中于补时阶段再次建功。
There is another attacking option Mourinho could turn to more often. Carlos Espi has already made an impression since joining the club, scoring the 90th-minute winner against Espanyol on his league debut before doing it again in stoppage time against Elche.
这位21岁的球员因此证明，只要获得出场时间，他就能发挥关键作用。
The 21-year-old has therefore shown he can make an impact when given game time.
在马德里竞技仍在摸索如何最佳平衡维尼修斯、姆巴佩和贝林厄姆的情况下，埃斯皮为穆里尼奥提供了另一个选择——尤其是在比赛末段需要一名支点球员时。他早期的表现表明，他理应获得更多机会来展示自己的能力。另一个重大隐患是当球队失去球权时会发生什么。
With Madrid still working out how best to balance Vinicius, Mbappe and Bellingham, Espi offers Mourinho another option - particularly when Madrid need a focal point in the final stages of matches. His early impact suggests he deserves more opportunities to show what he can do. The other major concern is what happens when Madrid lose the ball.
马德里竞技反复在皇马中场周围找到空间，并得以快速发起进攻，而胡伊森的染红更是让局面雪上加霜。如果穆里尼奥希望球队进行高强度逼抢并投入更多兵力前压，那么楚阿梅尼和巴尔韦德必须在失去球权时提供足够的保护。
Atletico repeatedly found space around Madrid's midfield and were able to attack quickly, while Huijsen's red card made the situation even more difficult. If Mourinho wants his side to press aggressively and commit numbers forward, Tchouameni and Valverde must provide enough protection when possession is lost.
在对阵马竞的比赛中，登泽尔·邓弗里斯、易卜拉希马·科纳特、胡伊森和马克·库库雷利亚在蒂博·库尔图瓦身前组成后防线。这条后防线具备实力，但穆里尼奥希望看到更强的整体性——尤其是在皇马边后卫大幅压上时。
Against Atletico, Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Huijsen and Marc Cucurella lined up in front of Thibaut Courtois. There is quality in that back four, but Mourinho will want greater cohesion - particularly when Madrid's full-backs push forward.
库尔图瓦的表现凸显了他依然不可或缺，这位门将多次做出关键扑救，帮助皇马留在比赛中。穆里尼奥的目标将是减少此类险情，让皇马在进攻被断后更难被对手抓住破绽。
Courtois' performance showed how important he remains, with the goalkeeper making several important saves to keep Madrid in the game. The aim for Mourinho will be to reduce those situations and make Madrid harder to expose when attacks break down.
这位葡萄牙老帅需要迅速为球队的问题找到新的解决方案，否则本赛季的争冠之路可能已无太大悬念。
The veteran Portuguese needs to come up with some new answers to his team's problems quickly, or there may not be much of a title race.
