Mauricio Pochettino threw a barbecue for Chelsea, but things didn't go according to plan

Today, Chelsea will face Leicester City in the quarterfinal match of the FA Cup.

In an attempt to boost team morale, the head coach of the Pensioners, Mauricio Pochettino, decided to organize a barbecue for the team. However, not everything went according to plan.

While most people enjoy grilled meat and steaks, and Argentinians are no exception, the Chelsea coach overlooked the fact that the usual concept of a barbecue and the preparation of dishes for professional athletes might differ slightly.

Nevertheless, the idea of the party sounded quite interesting, but the team's dieticians closely monitored all the players. There were no hamburgers, chips, or alcohol; instead, the players were served signature sausages, lean beef, and healthy salads. The only beverages available were water and orange juice.

Additionally, the party was interrupted by rain, and everyone had to seek shelter under an awning. Typical British weather.

Commenting on the event ahead of the party, the coach stated:

"The idea is to share information between players and staff. Employees are also invited.

I think there will be 120-130 of us. It's essential for the players to understand what it means to be Chelsea players.

But we must take responsibility. I propose a barbecue, but there are two dieticians who will monitor what they eat.

We drink water and orange juice. No alcohol to avoid overeating, we consume protein. Green salad, no french fries.

We will all be together. Of course, a barbecue doesn't mean we'll score goals afterward, but it's about communication and improving team spirit."

It's worth noting that the match between Chelsea and Leicester City will take place today, March 17th. The kickoff is scheduled for 13:45 Central European Time.
