It’s been a difficult few years for the Seattle Sounders, but they have finally found a beacon of hope in the form of their new captain, Stefan Frei. Frei, who has been with the Sounders since 2014, was recently named the team’s new captain after a period of struggles.
The Sounders have been in a bit of a funk since winning the MLS Cup in 2016. They failed to make the playoffs in 2017 and 2018, and have been struggling to find their footing in 2019. But with Frei now at the helm, the Sounders are hoping to turn things around.
Frei is no stranger to success. He was the starting goalkeeper for Toronto FC from 2009-2013, helping the team reach the MLS Cup final in 2010 and 2011. He then moved to Seattle and has been a key part of the Sounders’ success ever since. He was an MLS All-Star in 2014 and 2015, and was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2014.
Frei’s leadership and experience will be invaluable for the Sounders as they look to get back on track. His ability to lead by example and motivate his teammates will be essential if the Sounders are to make a run at the playoffs this season.
The Sounders are hoping that Frei’s appointment as captain will be the spark that ignites a turnaround for the team. With Frei at the helm, the Sounders are hoping to get back to their winning ways and make a run at the MLS Cup once again.
