Just got home from Nordsjælland-Chelsea. The Nordsjælland fans were actually louder than expected, but I still think there were more Chelski fans. There were 25.000 people attending the game (there are 37.000 seats) so that means that the Juve game won't sell out. No way. It surprised me that so many seats were empty considering that our seats were totally sold out. Nordjælland was playing well most of the game and really tried to play their own game. Think of Swansea and Barcelona - that's the way they like to play. A lot of short passes and no high balls. For the first 30 minutes they were actually better than Chelski, but then Chelsea stepped up. In the beginning of the second half Nordsjælland was the better team again, but then Chelski scored the second goal and Nordsjælland collapsed. They ran out of power in the end of the game. One of their biggest problems is that they don't produce enough chances and when they do, they aren't clinical enough.
I'm sure we will be able to win the matches against them, but it won't be as easy as many of you think. We have to keep focused and tire them down. Scoring the first goal will be essential, they won't get many chances.

My pictures are taken on an iPhone 4S and it's much easier to see the players in real life, but enjoy the pictures anyway.
