Burgundy Wave gets an interview with the Rapids captain to ask about leadership, challenges, and Sebastian Le Toux.
Sam Cronin isn’t the flashiest player on the Colorado Rapids, or the most acclaimed. As defensive midfielder, he’s unlikely to lead the team in goals or win MLS MVP. He’s pretty far behind Jermaine Jones and Tim Howard in US Mens National Team caps - Cronin has two, both coming back in 2009.
And yet, he is the team’s captain since the middle of 2015. His fierce attitude on the pitch, his tireless work rate, and his skillful yet workman-like approach to the game is a huge reason for the tremendous success for the Colorado Rapids to this point in 2016.
