 En attendant le coup d’envoi de la saison 2011 de MLS le 15 mars prochain, MLS News.fr vous présente les 18 franchises du championnat. Ce lundi, le Columbus Crew, champion 2008.
Un peu d’histoire Le 15 juin 1994, la ville de Columbus se voit attribuer l’une des dix places pour former la toute nouvelle Major League Soccer. Un an plus tard, c’est Lamar Hunt, également propriétaire du FC Dallas , qui est annoncé comme l’investisseur de la future franchise de l’Ohio. Ce dernier a donné son nom à l’Open Cup, l’équivalent de la Coupe des Etats-Unis, avant de décéder le 14 décembre 2006. Depuis la mort de ce dernier, c'est son fils, Clark, qui détient le Crew ainsi que le FC Dallas et le club de NFL des Kansas City Chiefs. Le stade Le bien nommé Columbus Crew Stadium. Là aussi, la franchise de l’Ohio a été pionnière, puisqu’elle a été la première en MLS à construire un stade entièrement consacré à la pratique du soccer. Cet écrin a été inauguré le 15 mai 1999. Les trois groupes de supporters les plus importants ("The Crew Supporters Union", "The Hudson Street Hooligans" et "La Turbina Amarilla") sont regroupés dans le virage Nord-Est appelé "Nordecke", sa traduction en allemand, en hommage à l’héritage teuton de la ville de Columbus. Les grands joueurs Le Crew a vu passer un paquet de bons joueurs dans ses rangs, le premier étant le Sud-Africain "Doctor" Khumalo (1996–97), premier joueur de l’histoire du club. Mais Columbus, c’est surtout une grande partie d’internationaux américains, dont l'actuel portier d'Aston Villa Brad Friedel (1996–97), l’actuel entraîneur du Chivas USA Robin Fraser (2004–05), le jeune retraité Brian McBride (1996-04), Edson Buddle (2001–05) ou Frankie Hejduk (2003–2010). La véritable légende du club se nomme Guillermo Barros Schelotto (2007–2010). Laissé libre à l’intersaison et reparti au Gimnasia La Plata, l’Argentin, MVP de la saison 2008, a tout simplement emmené les siens au titre de champion la même année. Le palmarès Si le Crew n’est pas le club le plus titré des Etats-Unis, il a tout de même été champion en 2008 au terme d’une saison fantastique, après avoir échoué en demi-finale en 1997, 1998, 1999 et 2002. C’est le deuxième trophée de Columbus après l’Open Cup remportée en 2002. Un trophée que les coéquipiers du Français Léandre Griffit auraient pu glaner l’an passé s’ils n’avaient pas flanché en finale face aux Seattle Sounders (1-2). Bon à savoir Le slogan du Crew est "America’s hardest working team". Littéralement "l’équipe américaine la plus travailleuse". L’ancien Montpelliérain Gino Padula est passé par l'Ohio (2008-2010). Le Français Léandre Griffit y joue depuis mai 2010, tout comme l'ancien Marseillais Andrès "El Condor" Mendoza, arrivé lui aussi la saison passée. Avant d'entraîner Columbus à partir de 2009, le Polonais Robert Warzycha en a été un joueur de 1996 à 2002.
