TUKWILA – There’s a new nastiness around the Sounders FC.
Well, as Jordan Morris slipped into his genteel off-field persona after training Wednesday, a teammate’s description of his play this season was off-putting.
“I wouldn’t say nasty, like I’m getting into players and doing dirty tackles and that kind of stuff,” said Morris in response to Cristian Roldan’s assessment of watching his close friend from the midfield position.
Roldan knew Morris would downplay the fire shown on the field. But there’s no denying what’s on display in Morris’ return from a seasonlong absence in 2018 due to a torn ACL.
