Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan praised Schmetzer’s openness and accessibility to his players
In the weeks following Sigi Schmid’s departure from the Seattle Sounders, significant change has been pretty obvious. Not only is the team playing better than it has all season — and winning — there’s also a very clear shift in the attitudes of the players both on the pitch and the training ground.
Midfielder Cristian Roldan simply said that the “mentality” of the players has been the most palpable change, and that head coach Brian Schmetzer’s style of coaching was a big part of it.
