Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei doesn’t plan to watch the dozens of replays of “The Save’’ that will inevitably make their way on to Canadian television this week.
Frei’s iconic save off a Jozy Altidore header late in last year’s MLS Cup championship game helped secure a title for the Sounders over hometown Toronto FC. It also broke the hearts of a Toronto fanbase Frei had spent his first several seasons playing in front of before a 2014 trade.
The Sounders head back to Toronto on Wednesday afternoon and Frei plans to make himself scarce as the week progresses.
