TUKWILA, Wash. — Perhaps no player holds himself to a higher standard than Stefan Frei. The Seattle Sounders veteran constantly looks for ways to improve his game and often speaks of how much he values the feedback he receives from his fellow goalkeepers and goalkeeping coach Tommy Dutra during film sessions.
Frei doesn’t always like what he sees, but he does try to learn from it.
After allowing four goals to the Portland Timbers on Saturday, there was definitely some room for self-reflection.
On at least two of the goals, there was almost nothing Frei could have done.
