MLS Cup MVP. Check. MLS All-Star. Check.
Less than a year after helping guide the Seattle Sounders to MLS Cup glory with his extra-time fingertip save, goalkeeper Stefan Frei was named to the 2017 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target on Wednesday morning.
MLS All-Star head coach and current Chicago Fire boss Veljko Paunoviu0107 made 11 selections including Frei for the Aug. 2 match vs. reigning UEFA Champions League champion Real Madrid. For Frei, it’s an accolade he shares with his Sounder teammates.
"It’s a big honor,” Frei told SoundersFC.com “It’s an individual recognition but in a team sport my teammates are so important for me to make me look decent stat-wise and get something like this on an individual level, so all credit goes to my teammates.
