Jonathan Mensah; Columbus Crew captain cautions teammates ahead of upcoming season
Ghana International and Columbus Crew Captain Jonathan Mensah has cautioned his teammates about a difficult campaign o ahead of their title defense this year.
Caleb Porter’s men stormed to the Major Soccer League side success after a fabulous campaign last season but Mensah believes the upcoming season will be even tougher.
“I think teams will come at us really, really strong,” Mensah said ahead of the upcoming opener.
“We need to prepare for the best but expect the worst because teams will come at us really, really strong because people didn’t really know what we could do.
“We need to be strong mentally, physically and tactically.”
Last season was certainly special for Mensah, considering the cup success came in his first year as captain of the club.
“When such an honour and responsibility arises, I think you don’t need to hesitate. You just need to take the challenge and lead the team,” the 30-year-old continued.
“It was a responsibility that I needed a lot of support, and I actually got it from my teammates and my coaches and everyone around the team because I didn’t do it alone.
“I don’t know how I did that last year,” Mensah said. “It was one of the toughest years of my playing career, and I’ll thank my wife also for holding it down back in Ghana because it wasn’t easy.”
