FC Copenhagen Vs. Chelsea: Lions Make One Change Coming Out Of Halftime

FC Copenhagen's come out of halftime having made one change, the substitution having an immediate effect. Out is forward Cesar Santin, the Brazilian having no effect on the first half. In is Martin Vingaard, a natural midfielder who looks set to play a left-leaning role. Twenty seconds into the half, Vingaard got of a right-footed shot from 20 yards out, forcing Petr Cech to lay-out for the first time tonight.

If Vingaard does shade left, the substitution hints Copenhagen is willing to use the wide areas,particularly on the left, more than they did in the first half. During that initial 45 minutes, Copenhagen built their attacks through the middle and right, seeing no success with either route. Down the left, Vingaard and Copenhagen will being going after José Bosingwa, the most suspect of the Blues defenders.

Yet aside from their initial attack of the half, when Vingaard cut-in from the left for his shot, Copenhagen has not used that flank. In fact, Vingaard is playing centrally, at the level below Dame N’Doye. Jesper Gronkjaer has stayed on the left.

Now in the 53rd minute, Copenhagen has not been able to re-test Petr Cech. Chelsea maintains their lead, 1-0.
