"This first part feels nice in the beginning, and then you start to have little bumps in the road, but you need to go through that to have success later on. You would love to have a shortcut, but then you don't develop parts of the play that we're still not happy with. It's about fine-tuning, and I'm 100% confident that we will start to click and be good."
"Being a good team and playing in multiple competitions, it's what you've got to do [a quick turnaround]. We'll go back out and put the best group we can out versus Columbus, who I think is a very dynamic team when you watch them, their pressing and interchangeability with the ball. Playing them at home, there's a good intensity to their game, so we know to expect another typical high-intensity match."
Henrik Rydstrom, Columbus Crew's new manager, continues adapting the team to his methods as they pursue their first victory under his leadership. The Crew has recorded two draws and one loss, placing them 11th in the Eastern Conference with their first clean sheet achieved in a 0-0 draw against Chicago Fire. Rydstrom acknowledges the adjustment period is necessary for long-term success and expresses confidence the team will improve. Nashville SC arrives unbeaten with three wins, sitting second in the East level on points with New York City FC. Manager BJ Callaghan remains unfazed by their demanding schedule, preparing to face Columbus's dynamic pressing and ball interchangeability at home.
