Q13 Sports Director Aaron Levine hit Seattle Sounders defender Kelvin Leerdam with a potentially awkward question in a televised interview Sunday, asking him (roughly): ‘Some fans think your coach or GM should be fired, what do you think?’
The level-headed Dutch defender was unfazed, immediately launching into a defense of Brian Schmetzer and his teammates.
“Me as a player, I’m always on the side of the coaches, the GM. Because I work every day with them. I work with my teammates. I know what effort the coach is putting in, he’s an honest guy, he’s always honest to me.
