Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei has had a front-row seat to the revolving door the team’s back line has become the first month of the season.
But with Brad Evans on-the-mend and working out again with the squad, Chad Marshall recovered from the illness that knocked him from the last game, Roman Torres rested and Oniel Fisher ready to play, too, things are as good as they’ve been defensively on this team for quite some time. While some fans groaned at the missed three-point opportunity last Friday in a scoreless tie at home with Atlanta United FC, Frei and his teammates realize how strong that expansion team actually is.
