They say any publicity is good publicity, but that's now how Gregg Berhalter sees it. The Columbus Crew SC head coach and sporting director doesn't like the headlines involving his team recently.
"We've been getting a lot of attention lately and it's for the wrong reasons," Berhalter said following Crew SC's 1-0 win over Mexican side Veracruz in an international friendly Wednesday. "That's not who we are as a soccer club. That's not what Columbus represents. That's not what we represent and I don't like that type of thing."
Berhalter is referring to the incident in Saturday night's 4-4 tie with the Montreal Impact where the team's two Designated Players, Federico Higuain and Kei Kamara, verbal quarreled on the field over who would take a second half penalty kick.
