"Berhalter is close to leading the Fire to the postseason for the first time in 2017, but with four regular-season fixtures to come, he wanted full focus from his players. "It's just all about this time of the season. Berhalter said. "You've got to keep collecting points and keep trying to move forward. "We know we're in a dogfight. We know Red Bull won again, and it is what it is. So, we're going to keep going."
"But for Crew head coach Wilfried Nancy, this was not the time to panic, though he reiterated his desire to see an improvement in results moving forward. "We have everything in our control," Nancy said. "This is not like this is the last game, and we have to wait after all the results of the other teams. "I know that the standings will change or something"
Chicago Fire sit ninth in the Eastern Conference with two points ahead of New York Red Bulls and one game in hand. The team responded to a loss by beating Minnesota United 3-0 and aims to build momentum heading into the match with Columbus Crew. The manager is close to leading the club to its first postseason since 2017 with four regular-season fixtures remaining. The manager recorded his 80th MLS triumph in his 200th match in charge while stressing focus on collecting points. Columbus occupy the final play-in spot but have one win in seven MLS matches.
