It happened during Friday's training, the last one before the Alavés-Real Madrid league clash. There are nerves within the Real Madrid squad.
Edu Aguirre, on El Chiringuito, has shown a clear example of the tension with which Real Madrid players live in the days leading up to the clash against Arsenal.
Edu Aguirre Explains the Training Argument on El Chiringuito
Excessive tension and nerves, eagerness for the big day to arrive, and a fervent desire to turn the tie around. Meanwhile, nerves are on edge.
Edu Aguirre explained last night on El Chiringuito what happened during Friday's training between two Real Madrid players, with an argument included.
"It's one of the weeks with the most tension at Real Madrid. Since Wednesday, the players feel they have to advance, that they are playing the season in a few days and during Friday's training there was a strong clash between two players.
As a result of the tension, there's a significant clash, an argument between Bellingham and Rüdiger.
It's something that usually happens in many soccer teams, but it takes on importance a few days before Real Madrid-Arsenal.
"A Bad Tackle, a Half-Insult, They Face Off..."
In the small-sided game, there is a bad tackle, a half-insult from one to the other. In the end, they face off and have to be separated.
A clash between Bellingham and Rüdiger as a result of the tension that is solved very well, it doesn't escalate. They shake hands and it all ends as things that happen in training. This is how the tension among Real Madrid players is determined."
That same tension is what led Mbappé to behave inappropriately on the Alavés field. Real Madrid players are counting the hours until Arsenal's visit to Bernabéu. They feel the need to fix the fiasco seen at Fly Emirates.
The incident between Bellingham and Rüdiger came to nothing, it's all a result of nerves. Moreover, they are excellent friends, among the closest in the Real Madrid squad.
