Michael Essien was left devastated when most Real Madrid players refused to turn up for his 30th birthday party during his one-year stint at the club.
Only Ricardo Carvalho and Luka Modric were the only players to turn up to his birthday party in a sorry episode which infuriated then manager Jose Mourinho.
This has been revealed in Jose Mourinho’s new book authored by Rob Beasley 'Jose Mourinho: Up Close And Personal' which is being serialised in the Daily Mail.
Rob Beasley wrote: "He said it was a political club full of warring factions and told me a story to illustrate the point perfectly.
"It had been Real midfielder Michael Essien's 30th birthday party, and the on-loan Chelsea star had invited all his Madrid colleagues to his bash. Only a handful turned up, and it was left to Mourinho to console his upset player.
"He told Essien it was nothing personal; it was not even that his team-mates did not like him and, sadly, it was not because they had anything better to do. Mourinho said it was simply because they were more interested in themselves and not others."

What is Jose Mourinho talking about ; is the man normal because to me he must be CRAZY and must know that yopu cannot force people to go to a party if they do not want to go for their own reasons ; people did go to the party of Essien because the truth is that most them did not like Essien because he was reporting what players said to Mourinho all the time at Chelsea; the man was seeking attention for himself and wanted to be in the good books of the boss ; the players knew Essien to be a 'snake rat' two faced little back stabber ; if you organise a birthday party and people do not turn up then you should know that people are not happy with you and will talk ill about you ; Essien must change his ways because you do make frineds by stabbing them in the back -GO AWAY JOSE !!!!!!because everybody know Essien was a spy for you at Chelsea .
