Trying my hand at @fantasyutd.bsky.social for MLS Fantasy this year. Just downloaded, and I like the design. Bidding for players makes it competitive. So far so good!
I'm here at OhioHealth Performance Center for today's #Crew96 media availability. Speaking with Captain Sean Zawadzki, Dylan Chambost and Henrik Rydstrom. I'll have updates over on the @massive-report.com handle.
Stay tuned.
First trivia question is now LIVE! Post your answer on the thread to be entered into the merch giveaway!
#Crew96
Orlando is that high due to the lion design on the kit. Pair with purple shorts and it’s great. I was in the minority on Dallas. I don’t like the blue, much rather have white to go back to their Waldo days.
What did we get right? What did we get wrong?
Glad you enjoyed the thread!
Says that he and Rydström have a good relationship, and that they talk all the time. Says that he tries to help the young players and coach adapt to life of the first team.
Camacho says that he's trying to adapt to the new system. Says that they've been practicing with a back-four, back-five in training.
Wrapping up with defender Rudy Camacho.
Says that he tries not to think about the injury, and is happy to get back to working with the same core backline that he came into Columbus with. #Crew96
Olsson says that he's eager to get back to Columbus because people speak highly of the City. Says he doesn't know if people if people are just saying that, but he is excited to get back and have a good experience. [laughter] #Crew96
Olsson says that he and Henrik have been working together since 2019. Spent 2.5 years at Malmo and is happy to continue working with him here at #Crew96
Olsson says that MLS has always been a discussion while growing up in Sweden, "How good is MLS?" Says #Crew96 is a hard working team, and always willing to learn new ideas.
Olsson says that when he learned he was going to Columbus, it was special. Says that it was good to get a good farewell, but hard to not get there right away. Says Henrik spoke very highly about the Club. Says the facilities are the best he's worked in and best he's seen.
Courtois says that Abou Ali will return to competing with #Crew96 soon, has been doing maintenance work on the body. Says that they didn't want to force anything with him today for the friendly.
Courtois says that he plans to start over with his new life in Columbus, change of scenery. Hasn't really settled in due to travel, but will "start from zero" once he is back.
Says that he learned being away "sucks" [laughter]. Looks forward to helping Rydström adapt to the league and getting him used to MLS play. #Crew96
Says that it was easy to nuance the evolution of the past system into what Rydström wants. Also says that it's been incredible to see players have a championship with Crew 2 and the first team, and seeing them compete with their national teams.
Starting today's media availability with Laurent Courtois. #Crew96
Starts off by saying he came back to Columbus because "it's the best Club and it's home." Also adds that he's familiar with the roster.
Later today, #Crew96 assistant coaches Theo Olsson and Laurent Courtois, as well as a select player will be available to the media. I will have more details, plus updates as they become available.
#Crew96 make Nariman Akhundzada official. More in my latest for @massive-report.com below

I will be sure to keep you updated sir!
Of course! I thought I posted the threads from players but apparently I didn’t, haha
Herrera hinted at Columbus moving to a back-four, making him more comfortable in his position. Moreira doesn’t know where his position will be, given he joined Columbus as a RB, then shifted into a center back role under Nancy.
Players seem to enjoy Rydstrom and his project.
Only 18 days until #MLS season kicks off. @bobvsoccer.bsky.social along with special guest @fishertyler.bsky.social provide insights and previews on Columbus Crew
While we await players, I guess now would be a good time to announce I have been promoted to Gameday Editor at
@massive-report.com. Stoked to have earned this opportunity, and will do my best to bring bigger and better gameday content to the socials for the upcoming season.
#Crew96
Rydstrom says the training session today was good. Said he could see the players starting to understand more and the joy they were having. Which in turn made him have fun.
#Crew96
Rydstrom says that Gazdag joined #Crew96 from a different type of football, where #DOOP was more of a counter attacking style of play than what Columbus is. Says that when he talks with Gazdag, he could see him reflecting on last year and knows that he could've done better.
Rydstrom says that he hasn't seen Taha Habroune due to injury and his first session was today. Says he likes what he has seen, and is still integrating more players coming back from injury.
