Clearly, things are not going well between Xabi Alonso and his players at Real Madrid.

Beyond his spat with Vinicius Jr, Xabi Alonso is reportedly at odds with several other stars in the dressing room. This trend was confirmed last night in Spain with new revelations about Alonso’s methods, which, according to journalist Marcos Benito, are not going over well.

Les mots de Xabi Alonso à un membre de son staff après que Vini Jr soit allé aux vestiaires : • "S’il ne revient pas, il jouera très peu." • "Je ne vais pas accorder à Vini ce qu’Ancelotti lui a accordé." [@elchiringuitotv]

"There are Real Madrid players who don’t like certain things about Xabi. I’m told there are things Xabi does that don’t sit well. But as long as he keeps winning, people will back him. Xabi’s personality is different from Zidane’s or Ancelotti’s—he’s a very cold character. He has ways of demanding things that not everyone appreciates," said Marcos Benito on the Chiringuito set.
