Despite Florentino Pérez’s heavy pressure on the Spanish press, revelations continue to fall about the bad atmosphere reigning in the Madrid locker room. With only one day left for Álvaro Arbeloa and his men to try to end the season on a good note, tensions remain at the heart of Merengue news. Some even wonder how José Mourinho, about to take over on the bench, will manage to manage the ego problems of Madrid’s stars.
In the foreground, the situation of Kylian Mbappé would continue to divide within the locker room, where “pro” and “anti” Mbappé clans would be forming. His recent media outing targeting some of his teammates, whom he would accuse of being at the origin of the departure of Xabi Alonso, would not have helped anything internally. But that would not be the most worrying subject. According to El Chiringuitothe supposed tension between the French international and Vinicius Jr would be confirmed more and more.
A strained relationship with Vinicius Jr?
According to the Spanish program, Kylian Mbappé’s entourage believes that part of the locker room is trying to prevent his integration into Real Madrid. Vinicius Jr would do everything possible to make Mbappé look like the “bad guy” of the story. “In this competition, Vinicius wants to beat Kylian Mbappé. There is this rivalry around the question: which of the two will stay? Mbappé feels alone in the locker room”adds El Chiringuitospecifying that Kylian Mbappé would not have appreciated Vinicius Jr’s departure wishes under Xabi Alonso.
“Vinicius Jr? For many in the locker room, it was ‘either he goes or I go’. And it was to decide who should stay between Xabi Alonso and Vinicius. And Mbappé, and more people, because they tell me, think that Vinicius made Xabi Alonso go, in a way. And that the team was worse today, because Arbeloa was a worse coach than Xabi Alonso. That’s what Mbappé and others think.. The Spanish media also claims that the captain of the Blues would not be supported by Álvaro Arbeloa. Kylian Mbappé would even feel mistreated by the Madrid staff, especially after his time on the bench against FC Barcelona, a decision that he still does not understand. The soap opera is therefore not ready to stop at Real Madrid…
