The two bosses meeting Saturday night were full of compliments for each other this week.
Many this season have been critical of Gregg Berhalter. The Columbus Crew SC head coach, who managed much success in his first two seasons in charge of the Black & Gold, has struggled to find results in his third year as manager.
Fans and pundits alike have questioned why Berhalter hasn’t made more changes to his team or altered the tactics that perplexed Major League Soccer teams since 2014.
Despite only three wins and 19 points through 21 matches, there is at least one person who still enjoys watching Crew SC’s possession-style of play, even if it’s not wielding results at the moment.
