Fans of a team never want to see two of its own players fighting during practice. It's even worse if one of the players involved is a young star on the rise. That's what happened in Brazil's practice, though, when newly-crowned\u00a0Champions League<\/a>\u00a0title holder Vinicius Jr. and Richarlison went at it in training. The fight got even worse when Neymar, the team captain and one of the best\u00a0soccer<\/a>\u00a0players in the world, had to get involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brazilian national team is in Tokyo, Japan training for a friendly match against Japan. The June international break friendly is a tune-up for the 2022 World Cup, which starts in November in Qatar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These matches will let head coach Tite figure out his tactics for the World Cup as well as his lineup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most critical battles for Brazil will be at the forward spots. The South American powerhouse is loaded with offensive talent, but only so many can play at one time.\u00a0Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar<\/a>\u00a0will be on the pitch no matter what in Qatar.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leaves two, maybe three starting spots available. Fighting for these spots are a host of young stars like\u00a0Manchester City's<\/a>\u00a0Gabriel Jesus,\u00a0Leeds United's<\/a>\u00a0Raphinha, Everton's Richarlison, and Real Madrid's Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of these forwards took the fighting piece literarily this week as Vinicius Jr. and Richarlison got in a physical fight in training. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the two tussled, Neymar, Barcelona's Dani Alves, and Lyon's Lucas Paquet\u00e1 had to jump in and separate the pair. Marca reports that, while no reason for the dustup has been given yet, Vinicius Jr. was calm after the fight, while the fiery Richarlison “continued to edge towards the young forward in an attempt to cause him harm.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vinicius Jr. is a rising star at Real Madrid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

22 goals and 20 assists for Vinicius this season.

And when Madrid needed him most he stepped up \u270c\ufe0f
