Gregg Berhalter going into his third year at the helm of this Ohio based club,
which has inscribed in the history annals of MLS, many memorable notes of
American soccer abroad.

players returning to this club and new faces in defenders Emanuel Pogaletz from
Austria and a whole European experience and former Rapids Chris Kluste.

The unfortunate side
for the CCSC, is that many of its players are on international compromises with
their respective National squads- still the Crew has a lot of talent to start a
counter offense and play a one on one with anyone.
As the time its full squad
returns, one ultimate desire will carry these Black and Gold chaps towards the league
shield if possible a treble of campaign, with the potential this squad promises
to show off.
On last campaign this
squad new president and group that took over its reigns promised to build an
overall contender as well build a new venue, as you remember this squad was the
first one to have its own playing stadium in all of MLS.
And with a very
arduous group of followers and its different support groups all seated in the North
end of the stadium, the Nordecke after honoring the city’s German heritage,
houses the most supportive of groups for the Crew.
Known for their
overall all year support to their beloved Crew SC and for that is the compromise
from the Black and Gold to perform another spectacular campaign to its great fan
base.
At the end the Crew
has a bright campaign ahead before opening day as well the arrival of new
coaches to this organization will aid to the development and building furthermore
a much bigger entity in years to come.
Although this club is
not known to have an impacting preseason, wait until the full campaign starts and
it’s time to lookout for the hunger of the Crew boys, as well ready to enjoy those
heated Derbies with their arch-rivals.
