During the Y98 pregame show, Jen Siess shared thoughts from CITY Center Midfielder, Daniel Edelman, ahead of the team’s fifth of seven matches in 21 days out west to take on Real Salt Lake. The “Columbus Killer” talked about the self-talk he uses to manage pressure in games and how his experience finishing off PK’s, ironically also against Columbus in the past, paid off for CITY’s recent Open Cup Championship final win. Edelman shared how he and the team were ecstatic to have the win after the team's earlier struggles in the season, losing goalkeeper Roman Burki to a head injury during the game, backup goalkeeper Ben Lundt stepping in cold to come up big - all while weathering the Crew’s heavy attack to get to extra time then kicks. Finally, Danny shared the team’s continued success in their ability to outwork teams and shift their focus to the next game, relying on the collective.
