The Crew won back-to-back games for the first time since October 2021. Here's what we learned from the 4-0 win over Real Salt Lake.
Columbus Crew's mentality changing under Wilfried Nancy
"This is something that every day, in every way, we push the players for that, to stay on the task all the time," Nancy said."They’ve been really good on that, in terms of, ‘Don’t think about the score. Think about what we have to do offensively and defensively.’ Last season, the Crew dropped more points from winning positions than any team in MLS history. It was often the result of sitting back in a defensive shell and just trying to cling to their lead. It became somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy; the more anxious the Crew were about potentially allowing another game-changing goal, the more tension seeped into their play and the more likely they were to make a mistake that led to a goal.
Morris' strike on his first goal epitomized the calmness he was seeking during the preseason. As Zelarayán ran onto a pass from center back Steven Moreira, Morris stepped into a space that opened at the top of the 18-yard box. Zelarayán hit a one-touch backheel pass into Morris' path, and all Morris had to do was shoot the ball into the far corner of the net.
