It will be a clash of styles when the Seattle Sounders make their Club World Cup debut against Egyptian side Al Ahly in Tangier on Saturday, the Major League Soccer team's goalkeeper Stefan Frei said.
"These are going to be different styles clashing, styles that haven't really faced each other before," Frei told reporters on Wednesday. Frei and defender Alex Roldan said the team will be physically ready to compete despite having played just two friendlies since their disappointing 2022 MLS campaign wrapped up in October."From what I saw I was very impressed. Guys came in very sharp, very fit, and hungry."
"We definitely don't look past Al Ahly. They are a very experienced team in this tournament but if we do find ourselves moving forward, it would be incredible," Frei said.
