Vini 'Complains About Real Teammate' To Ancelotti

Vinicius Junior is said to have made complaints about one of his Real Madrid teammates to manager Carlo Ancelotti.

A video circulating online involving Vinícius is now said to have caused a stir in Spanish media.

The Brazilian player starred in a recent shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of relegation-threatened Espanyol.

It was indeed a frustrating match for Los Blancos, as they failed to convert their chances despite registering 21 attempts on goal.

One goal attempt was converted by Vinícius, though, but it was subsequently ruled out by VAR after his colleague Kylian Mbappé was adjudged to have fouled an Espanyol player in the build-up to the disallowed goal.

Notably, Vinícius' frustrations were also aimed at his teammates.

According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the 24-year-old was angered by the performance of his teammate Dani Ceballos during the match against Espanyol.

It is claimed that Vinícius had asked the Spaniard to supply more passes to him near the touchline; however, the latter did not seem to follow the instructions, causing tension between the two players.

Ceballos' perceived lack of compliance would then lead to Vinícius reporting the midfielder to Ancelotti, with footage of the incident captured by European broadcaster Movistar.

Furthermore, Vinicius' complaints escalated when he also expressed discontent with Fran Garcia's performance.

When things started to get heated, it is reported that current club captain Lucas Vázquez had to intervene to calm tensions between Vinícius and his two teammates, Ceballos and García.
