Columbus Crew players reflect on rollercoaster season: 'We have to be stronger mentally'
"When push comes to shove in our business, it comes down to results, and when you look at the results the last two years, we didn’t qualify for the playoffs," Crew general manager Tim Bezbatchenko said."The primary cause of that this year was our inability to close out games."
"Sometimes, it comes down to the fact that after the first or second time it happened, we as players, as a collective, we didn’t address that enough and didn’t work on that enough here on the grounds to stop that from happening again," defender Miloš Degenek said."At some point, it was very unlucky. A lot of the goals we did concede were very unlucky. But all in all, I think it’s sometimes the concentration, but also, just the fact that we didn’t always work as one.
"Me personally, I didn’t feel that way," Room said."Some games, maybe , but I think overall, sometimes we invited the pressure. In some situations we maybe had to play more direct or more safe. A lot of the times, we tried to play nice football from the back. ... That’s one of our qualities, but at some point, you don’t have to take the risk.""I think we have to be stronger mentally," Zelarayan said.
