There is an energy and effort to Alvaro Fernandez’ game so far this season. For the second time, his stint with the Seattle Sounders started in middle of a year, and just like in 2010-11, he finally has an offseason and training camp to integrate into the squad.
So far, due to injury and international call up, he has been used in the attacking midfield band of three with Clint Dempsey and Nicolas Lodeiro. He’s put in more work defensively and is making incisive runs, rather than waiting for the game to come to him.
