TUKWILA – It’s the way he delivers his speech. An old-school swag drenched Ozzie Alonso’s words as he talked about playing before 40,000 fans at CenturyLink Field.
His old school. Where the former Sounders original helped establish the club through championships, sold-out matches and marquee players.
Seattle will aim to close that old door Sunday.
Alonso, who signed with Minnesota in January, makes his first return to CenturyLink with the United intending to dismiss the Sounders to a lower position in Western Conference standings as the Loons prepare for their first MLS playoff in their three-year history.
