The portal "sport.es" reports that the first sparks of discord arose between the leader of Madrid's "Real" Cristiano Ronaldo and the new team coach Rafa Benitez at a training camp in Australia.
According to the media, the Portuguese almost left the team's training session because he did not like the exercises and coaching methods devised by the coach.
Madrid's club faces a tense week - in the coming days, representatives of "La Liga" will compete with strong clubs from England and Italy.
On July 24 in Australia, "Real" will play against "Man City", and on July 27 and 30 in China - against "Inter" and "Milan" teams.
