Chelsea players went downtown to enjoy a Christmas party after being defeated by a team that was considered one level below them. It is said that coach Mauricio Pochettino willingly gave his permission.

The leading British newspaper 'The Telegraph' reported on the 12th (Korean time), "Just a few hours after losing against Everton, the Chelsea team left Liverpool, Merseyside, where they played, and headed to Mayfair (known as a famous wealthy area in London, England) for a meal. “I enjoyed it,” he said.

It is known that captain Reece James, who left the game and was replaced due to an injury, also attended the party on this day. James left the stadium in the 2023/24 English Premier League match against Everton in the 16th round, complaining of pain early in the first half.

However, it was revealed that the departure of Chelsea players was not an unauthorized departure as it was done with the permission of manager Maurizio Pochettino.

'The Telegraph' said, "James had previously asked for permission to go out for a Christmas party, and Pochettino also approved it," and added, "After the loss against Everton, the schedule was adjusted to be a team meeting rather than a party held by James himself." . It was not a party just for drinking and having fun after the loss.

Pochettino also decided to send the squad regardless of the result of the game.

The newspaper said, “Pochettino thought it was unnecessary to cancel a previously scheduled appointment in order to take responsibility for the disappointing loss to Everton,” and added, “All Chelsea management decided that the players needed to unite, so they let the players go.” reported.

Chelsea are expressing their dissatisfaction as they are scheduled to play an away game against Wolverhampton on the 24th, which is Christmas Eve. Since the game had to be played on the 24th, it could be considered a Christmas party.

British media 'The Sun' also reported the news and said, "Bagatelli', the Mayfair restaurant frequented by Chelsea players, is the most expensive restaurant in the region," adding, "A plate of pasta costs 43 pounds (about 78,000 won)." reported. In addition, 'Tape', a small club where the players went after the meal, was introduced as "a popular spot visited by famous sports players and celebrities" and "the reservation price per table is 2,000 pounds (about 3.3 million won)."

Meanwhile, 'The Telegraph' reported, "James is scheduled to visit a dedicated doctor on the 12th to treat the injury," and added, "There is also an opinion that he will need surgery for the hamstring injury that has been holding him back throughout his career."

James has suffered a total of 6 hamstring injuries since the 2019/20 season, and in particular, he was left again due to a hamstring injury from April at the end of the 2022/23 season until the end of the season. Then, right after the start of this season, he was out of action due to a hamstring injury.

Calls for selling Reece James, who is the team captain but continues to suffer from various injuries, are also growing louder.

In particular, Chelsea lacks a striker who can finish the game. Pochettino said at a press conference after the match against Everton, "Football is about scoring goals," and "I am very disappointed because there is no player who can provide an effective finish." Chelsea and Pochettino, who spent 660 billion won in the transfer market last summer alone, are still in a state of panic as they are unable to find a striker.

Chelsea will aim for victory in the 17th round of the league with a home game against Sheffield United on the 17th after a week's rest. Chelsea, who recorded 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses in the last 5 games, is currently in slump, ranked 12th in the league.
