Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese
On featuring an strong lineup against Seattle…
"We want to compete. This is an important cup for us. We had the chance to be able to put a good lineup on the field and we had to do it. We never take any game lightly. We want to always compete and today we got a very important win because Seattle, even though it has some players missing, they still were a difficult team to play against and they created some chances, they were difficult.
