Back at Real Madrid. A special feeling to return, and an honour to be working alongside Jose Mourinho again. Excited for this new challenge and everything ahead, Khedira wrote.The message reflects both Khediras emotional connection to the club and his respect for Mourinho.Trusted dressing-room roleKhedira is expected to act as a liaison between Mourinho and the players, helping maintain communication and stability inside the dressing room.That role is particularly important in a squad like Madrid, which contains established stars, new signings and several young players.His experience gives him credibility on both sides. He understands exactly what Jose expects but also knows how it feels when the shoe is on the other foot.Khedira was one of those players in the squad under Jose before, and his experience could help the dressing room have a shoulder to lean on.More than a symbolic returnKhediras appointment should not be viewed as a nostalgic gesture.The club appear to see him as a practical figure capable of preventing small tensions from becoming larger issues and helping the coaching staffs message reach the squad clearly.Last season, one of the biggest issues for both Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa was their inability to maintain dressing-room harmony.Jose understands how important it is to have a harmonious dressing room, and Khedira is his trusted man to ensure that.Khediras own words underline his enthusiasm, and it remains to be seen how his role helps Madrid adapt to this new chapter under Jose.
