BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – This weekend Bastian Schweinsteiger’s new role at the heart of the Chicago Fire defense will be tested by a player he believes is “one of the best in the league.”
High-flying -- and high-scoring -- Atlanta United visit Toyota Park on Saturday (7:30 pm CT | TICKETS). And the German World Cup winner knows he and his fellow defenders will have to be at their best to stifle the league’s most potent attack, with Atlanta having racked up 21 goals in their eight games this year.
“They have a lot of quality up front,” Schweinsteiger told MLSsoccer.
