Savarese pleased with quick acclimation of new Timbers Chara, Mora and Zuparic

BEAVERTON, Ore. – The Portland Timbers’ preseason finale against the New England Revolution on Saturday (5pm PT, Timbers.com, TICKETS) should be the team’s most intense match of the month – the culmination of a six-game stretch which, since February 1, has tried to prepare the team for its 10th Major League Soccer season. It should also be Timbers fans’ second chance to look at three new potential starters, with all of winger Yimmi Chara, forward Felipe Mora and defender Dario Zuparic looking poised to start March 1’s season opener against Minnesota United FC (4:30pm PT, FS1, TICKETS).
