Intro:

English Premier League champions Chelsea trained in Bangkok on Friday (29 May) ahead of their first post-season friendly.

Script:

Chelsea are in the Thai capital of Bangkok as they prepare for their first end of season match.

The English Champions play a Thailand All-Stars side on Saturday in Bangkok, and Eden Hazard looked to maintain his sharp shooting in a different way.

The Belgian who was named PFA Player of The Year for the season found the target with a dustbin much to his and John Terry's delight.

The squad were put through their paces by manager, Jose Mourinho as they prepare for their first of two end of season games.

After the match with the Thai All-Stars the Blues travel to Australia to face Sydney FC next Tuesday.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is one of the few players excused from the trip to remain home with his girlfriend for the birth of their first child, so former number one Petr Cech will start in goal for Chelsea against the Thais.

Earlier in the day Chelsea instructors held training session with local kids as part of the club's attempt to expand the reach of their support around the world.

One Chelsea official suggested he has seen a growing "blue tide" in Bangkok as the Chelsea brand continues to grow.
