Andy Gruenebaum - Columbus Crew Goalkeeper
(On the Seattle Sounders’ early attack...) “Obviously Seattle is a great team, they’re going to come out strong and hard for their fans. They’re going to come after us and we’re going to have to weather a few storms here and there. We did a pretty good job of it. We scored first and it was a great goal.”
(On Fredy Montero’s shots) “The one to my left he just hit it hard with his left foot and I was able to react and make a save. He hit one across to my right and I was happy I held onto it, ran into a few guys. He’s a great player and he’s going to get some looks every game, he makes those opportunities himself. It’s a milestone win for us and hopefully we can build on it.
(On what’s going right...) “We’re not conceding too many goals. We’re weathering storms, it’s a tough road trip on the west coast. Typically it’s been more tough for us. I think we weathered the storm, made a goal ourselves and they had to come out of their shell and we countered and got a second one.”
