Despite the victory of the conference league, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall cannot hide the alarming Chelsea trend

Chelsea ran into the quarter-finals of the conference league with a 1-0 victory against Copenhagen on the Stamford Bridge to seal her progress 3-1 in total.

Home fans tested their patience from the recent lifeless appearances from their side, but even the suffocating mattness of the close victory in the first leg in Denmark was nothing compared to what Enzo Maresca's team offered in the return game.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's goal shortly after half-time was from the quality of the tie, a wonderful, slaloming run through the defense before he got into the corner with serenity, but it was paper about the cracks of a listless representation.

In all competitions, the head coach can refer to four victories in a row and a place in the last eight Europe, while his team is well placed in the league next season to return to the Champions League.

However, their achievements show little signs of improvement.

Before the kick -off Maresca has a commitment to football, which preferred the structure compared to style and forced a measured pace, more of it served in the first half of his team.

Chelsea could not score a goal in the first 45 minutes and rarely near Copenhagen's penalty area. After the frustrations of the supporters about the non -convincing nature of victory in the first leg and in the league were here against Leicester, there was hardly the feeling that something had changed.

Josh Acheampong was the outstanding player in Blue, who played 18-year-old nominally in the left-back, but pushed into the midfield with the team and drove from there in Copenhagen's defense with a company that does not match any of his teammates.

The only other redeeming feature of a lackluster display was that it took until half -time to arouse the audible displeasure of home fans who mocked a common ritual during the break in the mockery of their team.

Maresca sent Cole Palmer open for the second half, but it was the endeavor of Marc Cucurella, who finally started Chelsea.

Open the picture in the gallery

The Spanish national player made a challenge to win the ball high in half of the Copenhagen, and then came the extraordinary spectacle of Dewsbury-Hall, which was invisible the next half and took over by four defenders with a balletian bunch and teased his way through four defenders before he relieved himself into the corner.

Palmer then drove into space and leaned a shot just a few centimeters wide in search of the goal that would end his long, barren strip – he has not scored a goal since January 14th.

Rodrigo Huescas may have lived up five minutes after stopover if he had kept his serenity on Filip Jorgensensen's goal when cleaning, but instead it would end up in the end of the scale.
