Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei seems increasingly aware his shelf life in the game has some limits.
With his team embarking on a critical three-game stretch against beatable opponents, Frei on Friday shared some thoughts about poor regular season starts, the league’s continued dictating of salary structure and the need of more senior players to capitalize on the here and now. And while some connections between those themes may be looser than others, they all center around a desire to seize on opportunity.
“I think we have plenty of more senior players that realize we can’t be throwing away seasons,’’ Frei, 32, said of the Sounders, who play the Chicago Fire on Saturday night at CenturyLink Field and badly need victories to position for a run at the playoffs.
