Marcos Alonso credits team spirit to boozy dinners

Marcos Alonso was the latest Chelsea player to show off his Instagram page on the club’s official site as part of their regular “Calling the Shots” feature.

Alonso has been exceptional as a left wing back this season after coming into the team in September following bad results against Arsenal and Liverpool.

After a fairly pedestrian series of photos showing the Spaniard in his hometown of Madrid and in Florence, where he played for Fiorentina before his move to Chelsea last summer, Alonso’s last photo and it’s caption is the most revealing.

Showing the team having a fancy sushi dinner with plenty of red wine on display, the wing back explains that the team go out once a month for such dinners, and he emphasises their importance in building team spirit in the group.

With Chelsea cruising at the top of the table it certainly seems to be working. How about making them weekly, Antonio?
