After Columbus Crew SC’s 2-0 win over Orlando City on Saturday, much of the attention was on Justin Meram, and rightfully so.
But the performance that caught my eye was that of the Black & Gold defensive midfield. Just days after the trade that sent Tony Tchani to the Vancouver Whitecaps, it seemed appropriate that the Crew SC double pivot would put in a vintage performance.
Five games into the season it’s clear that Gregg Berhalter has settled on a defensive midfield pairing of Wil Trapp and Artur.
