Columbus Crew midfielder Tony Tchani boasts size and strength, but it will be his skill that will be key to helping Columbus lift the MLS Cup on Sunday.
OBETZ, Ohio — There are few players in Major League Soccer who wear their emotions on their sleeve quite like Tony Tchani. The fiery Columbus Crew midfielder never backs down from a challenge, and often finds himself squaring up against opponents who he feels often try to test him.
Watching these exchanges, it's easy to wonder if Tchani isn't in danger of losing control, of getting himself sent off, but Tchani always finds a way to calm down and avoid getting himself into trouble.
