“I got a bit of stick in Europe that I came too early. They still have the view that I should’ve come in a couple of years, that I should have kept on playing at the top and then come here. For me at least, my decision was if I should come I should still be a great football player.” Freddie Ljungberg, 31, defending his decision to play in MLS while still having plenty left to give. Ljungberg scored in his first start for Seattle, helping the Sounders to a 2-0 win over Toronto on Friday.
