  "account": "Jose Juninho discusses the Real Madrid team's struggles with the \"untouchables\" issue. He argues that having nearly a third of the starting lineup as untouchable players negatively impacts the team's chemistry and performance. Juninho points out that this model limits young players' chances to develop and forces unconventional substitutions that hinder the team's ability to recover when trailing. He specifically mentions Arda Güler as a prime example of a player whose presence could transform the team's attack when he plays as the No. 10. Juninho suggests that Jude Bellingham playing as the No. 10 would also significantly improve the system's effectiveness.",
