Zip_ME87 Posted December 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/cucho-nancy-zelarayan-more-inside-columbus-crew-s-journey-to-mls-cup from the end of the linked article …For Bezbatchenko, an Ohio native, this journey is also rewarding on a personal note. He went to high school only “four or five miles down the road” and his parents are day-one season ticket members who sit right at midfield. His 92-year-old grandmother drives down with his uncle from nearby Akron for every home game, too. Which prompts perhaps the question: Does his grandmother get to hold the trophy if Columbus beat LAFC? “It's funny, all she wants to do is hug Darlington,” Bezbatchenko said. “She's an Akron Zips fan, so she's known Darlington since he was playing there, even before. She'll probably go straight for him rather than the trophy. But absolutely, if we were lucky to have that moment, it would be great if she could hold it.” Edited December 8, 2023 by Zip_ME87 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/columbus-crew-player-ratings-cucho-nagbe-achieve-mls-cup-greatness player ratings.....an 8.5 rating for the incredible Darlington Nagbe Columbus' captain hardly put a foot wrong during his 84 minutes on the pitch, completing 52 of 54 passes and setting the tempo. One of MLS' greatest-ever orchestrators, Nagbe looked exceedingly comfortable with the ball at his feet and gave LAFC's midfield a miserable time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 I am just copying a small portion of the glowing words that they write about the GOAT https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/darlington-nagbe-cucho-hernandez-columbus-crew-lafc-mls-cup/blt9698775b430b1e73 Name your all-time MLS greats: Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane, Sebstian Giovinco, Diego Valeri, Jaime Moreno... whoever. No matter what generation you're from, what era of MLS made you fall in love with the game, you have to include Nagbe among any list discussing the best this league has ever seen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennZip Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39079152/nagbe-morris-instrumental-columbus-crews-mls-cup-win There was admiration from opponents too. LAFC and former Italy international Chiellini, who knows a thing or two about quality attacking players, had nothing but positive things to say about Darlington Nagbe. "He's an example for everyone and every player that he played with," Chiellini said. "And watching the games of Columbus, you can understand how much he's important as a player, but as a good leader, and he has a good value. He's a hard worker, very generous, and then helps all the teammates close to him to play better. [He's] not in the shine many times but I think he is a really the heart of this team." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
