Columbus Crew v Houston Dynamo: Olsen still searching for recipe to success - Soccer News
Briefly

Houston Dynamo head coach Ben Olsen expressed frustrations after his team's poor start to the 2025 MLS season, suffering back-to-back defeats, including a 4-1 loss to Inter Miami. As they prepare for their first away match against Columbus Crew, Olsen stressed the need for tactical discipline and earning the opportunity to compete. He highlighted the importance of avoiding mistakes, especially since the team is currently in a transitional phase. In contrast, Columbus Crew are looking to build on their recent strong performances, despite facing challenges in their midweek match against Los Angeles FC.
"Kick the ball up the field. How about that one? Stop trying to play soccer in our own box, and when we do, play it to the right foot."
"This idea of earning the right to play is something we live with. We still want to play soccer, we still want to be brave. But you don't just step on the field and have teams allow you to do that."
