Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar spoke for the first time following an alleged dressing room incident after their defeat to Monaco on Saturday.
PSG followed a last-16 exit in the Coupe de France with a dismal 3-1 defeat against Monaco in Ligue 1. The Brazilian turned in another underwhelming performance - which has been typical of his inconsistent post-World Cup form - before reportedly locking horns with team-mates Vitinha and Hugo Ekitike after the full-time whistle.
"It happened, a little discussion, we didn't agree," the Brazilian said in a press conference. "It happens to us every day, but I love them all, it's like with my girlfriend. Football is not just love, not just friendship. There is respect but it happens to have discussions. We are not used to losing, when there are defeats, of course it disturbs us. It is part of the process to improve.
"For the locker room, it is sometimes lies what comes out in the press and it goes around the world. Rumours have happened to come out at key moments of the season. We have to look for what's going on, it's not normal for stories to come out in the press, it has to stay between us. We have to walk together. When there's news like that, we're angry. I guarantee you that a lot of information is wrong, some is true."
