"El Pais": Reasons for the Crisis at "Real Madrid": Leaks, Tension and Lack of Leadership

New allegations have surfaced regarding leaks from the dressing room and tension within the "Real Madrid" football club in Spain.

Idman.Biz reports that "El Pais" writes that the dissatisfaction that has accumulated in the Madrid club in recent months has turned into an open crisis after the Valverde-Tchouameni incident. According to the source, there is serious concern within the club about some individuals leaking what is happening within the team to the media. It is believed that these leaks at "Real Madrid" are not just spreading information, but also aimed at harming the club.

It is alleged that the players have already started to suspect each other. The fact that some names are mentioned more than others has further weakened the trust in the dressing room. According to "El Pais", it is believed that several people in the club are interested in publicizing the conflicts, and this is perceived as "betrayal" of the dressing room.

The incident between Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni is at the center of the tension. "Real Madrid" has opened disciplinary proceedings against both players after the incident. "Real Madrid's" medical report stated that Valverde was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury. Valverde stated in his statement that his teammate did not hit him, and that he himself did not hit Tchouameni.

Social networks wrote that Tchouameni accused Valverde of leaking internal information about Xabi Alonso. According to those claims, the French football player said to Valverde during the argument, "You are one of the reasons why players are against Xabi."

According to other allegations spread in the Spanish press, the tension within the team is not limited to the Valverde-Tchouameni line. According to journalist Miguel Serrano, some of "Real Madrid" players have openly expressed their dissatisfaction with head coach Alvaro Arbeloa. It is alleged that some players insulted Arbeloa while on the substitutes' bench and called him a "cone".

According to the source, after Arbeloa learned about this behavior, he punished those football players with a few games of suspension.

The reports also state that a toxic atmosphere has formed at "Real Madrid" after the coaching change. It is alleged that Kilian Mbappe, Aurelien Tchouameni and Arda Guler wanted the Spanish expert to stay in the team. Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham were shown in the group that supported the coaching change.

"El Pais" also wrote that there are players in the team who do not talk to each other, one group has cooled relations with Xabi Alonso, and the other group shows the same attitude towards Alvaro Arbeloa. The source also noted that the club management plans to make changes in the squad at the end of the season.

In addition, "El Pais" emphasized that the lack of leadership and the absence of experienced authoritative figures at "Real Madrid" deepened the crisis. The article recalled that figures such as Sergio Ramos, Toni Kroos, Raul and Luka Modric created balance in the dressing room in previous years.
