When the Columbus Crew SC players and staff took to the training field for the first time this week on Tuesday morning, there was an extra bounce in everyone’s step. The players were all anxious to get back to practice after Saturday’s first loss of the season — a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of the Philadelphia Union — and the coaches were ready to correct the mistakes that led to the defeat.
“It’s always good to get back on the pitch after a result like we had,” head coach Caleb Porter said after the session.
