Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is ready to show just why new manager Jose Mourinho recalled him to Chelsea as the squad jet out for a pre-season tour of Asia. It is an opportunity De Bruyne intends to take. Speaking to the club’s official website, www.chelseafc.com, he said: “The manager said he has a lot of confidence and brought me back because he believes in me. “I have to show that on the pitch, but it is nice when the trainer has confidence in you. I have to work hard and see what happens in pre-season. “After training you can have a good laugh, but in the session he likes discipline and that everybody is working hard on the field.” Like Manchester United and Arsenal, Chelsea are making the most of some lucrative promotional opportunities while in the Far East, where they will play matches in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta before then heading to the United States where they will take part in the Guinness International Champions Cup, along with the likes of Everton, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Los Angeles Galaxy. De Bruyne is expecting a testing schedule to sharpen up for the new Barclays Premier League campaign, which will open against Hull on Sunday August 18 as part of the first wave of live matches announced today. “The tour of Asia will be difficult for us, with the heat and the humidity, but we will see what happens and we just have to prepare ourselves well for the season,” he said. “We have a lot of young players and it will be good to go on tour and stay together, and get to know each other and other places. It is always fun.” The Belgium international initially joined the Blues from Genk in January 2012, but spent the last campaign on loan at Bundesliga side Werder Bremen. Mourinho made it clear on his return to the Stamford Bridge hotseat that the likes of De Bruyne, 22, and fellow promising young Belgian Romelu Lukaku, who was on loan at West Brom last season, are very much part of his plans for the new campaign.

Masters 2019: Justin Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau hit holes-in-one during final round
A hole-in-one is rare. A hole-in-one at the Masters? Even more unlikely. But two holes-in-one on the same hole in the final round of the Masters? Well, that’s just impossible — or so we thought.That crazy feat occured on Sunday morning as both Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas hit aces at hole No. 16. The hole-in-one was the first of his career and the 28th in Masters history.Jumping for joy! @b_dechambeau cards his first ever hole-in-one. pic.twitter.com/rR5RX4AnbH— Masters Tournament (@TheMasters) April 14, 2019But if a single hole-in-one doesn’t make your socks go up and down, Thomas delivered an encore performance just three hours later on the same hole. Thomas’ shot took nearly the same path on the green as DeChambeau’s, as a more subdued Thomas passed out a few high-fives. The ace moved Thomas three shots back of the leader.. @justinthomas34 aces No. 16 #themasters pic.twitter.com/ypueubdkSY— Masters Tournament (@TheMasters) April 14, 2019Thomas’ ace was the 29th in Masters history and 22nd at hole No. 16. Charley Hoffman had the most recent hole-in-one at 16, occuring last year. TIGER TRACKER: Live updates, highlights from Sunday’s Round 4DeChambeau got things started at the par-3, 170-yard hole by hitting his shot to the right side of the green before the ball found a slope and trickled into the hole. A jubilant and jumping DeChambeau needed a bit of an emotional boost after shooting an opening round 66 to tie him for the lead, one which quickly vanished as he shot a 75 and 73 on Friday and Saturday.
