For manager Caleb Porter entering in his second year at
the helm of the Crew, he would like to forget last season and focus on seasons
to come with an all competitive side and looking forward too many memorable seasons.
So far, these club directives have been hard at work to
build a strong team for manager Porter as you recall he defeated the Black and
Gold back in 2015, when he was the manager of the Portland Timbers.
Now the man is looking forward to capturing the charm of
the Columbus fans in building a winner, as this side new order of business by its
new ownership is to build a new venue downtown to be open next season.
As previously stated, this club has been hard at work in
getting players to build ahead of another contested season in Major League Soccer
as well in the Eastern Conference considered one tough association.
With this being an expansion season, the Crew is to play
against a new foe in their conference in what looks to be a strong opponent in
newcomer Inter Miami that is going to be a tough opponent in their debut season.
With many new faces coming to Columbus, one that comes to
our attention is the reunion of Caleb Porter with his former U of Akron alumni
Darlington Nagbe coming via trade from Atlanta United and FC Cincy and former Portland
Timbers striker Fanendo Adi pick off waivers.
Still, other names that for sure will uplift the Crew game
and plugin many holes in much-needed areas of Porter’s starting eleven, their record
signing in Argentine midfielder Lucas Zelayaran from Liga MX Tigres UANL, midfielder
Derrick Etienne on loan with FC Cincy, defender Vito Wormgoor from Norway’s side
Brann.
In addition of this club netting other players in goalkeeper
Matt Lampson from LA Galaxy, forward Jordan Hamilton from Portuguese side Trofense,
center back Axel Sjöberg from Colorado and midfielders as Home
grown in Aidan Morris and Sebastian Berthalter.
For this club
last season missing the playoffs in what looked like a prosing start of the season,
the club entered a slump and finished in 10th place missing the
grand fete of the postseason after five consecutive appearances.
The way this
cub is arming to front another contested season for Caleb Porter and company so
far building a contender after his club front office supporting his project in
his bid to try to bring that lost winning drive.
In the end, for the Crew, these have everything to have a
decent season and possibly have a good run in the US Open Cup last won back in
2009, a competition denied to Porter in his time at Portland and with this club,
he armed maybe this could be his year.
Still with the competitor on the Eastern Conference anything
can happen with Inter Miami arming a strong side, anything can happen as well
for the Crew to build up a strong game, but a mishap can be costly and finish
below seventh place.
