"“He has a great belief, and he's also very optimistic in his play,” Sorensen said of Berhalter. “That's why he ended up in situations where he can also be decisive, and score goals, like that run he took in for the goal was not necessarily a run you often take from a No. 6 position. He has the self-belief. It's small things that he brought on a lot of good from last season.”"
"Berhalter netted for the Vancouver Whitecaps in their 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes last time out. The draw kept Vancouver within three points of the 'Quakes at the top of MLS' Western Conference. Next up for the Whitecaps is a trip to FC Dallas, who have won back-to-back matches. Dallas sit seventh in the West, on 19 points."
"“Points are always important, but it's also important how we play,” Sorensen said. “We have played and approached the games as if they were home games, hopefully we can take a couple of victories before the break.” Wednesday's match is the third of an eight-game road run for the Whitecaps, who have drawn their last two games."
Sebastian Berhalter is showing strong self-belief and optimism while competing for a place in the United States World Cup squad. He scored for Vancouver Whitecaps in a 1-1 draw with San Jose Earthquakes, keeping Vancouver within three points of the top of the MLS Western Conference. Jesper Sorensen praised Berhalter’s belief and the small improvements he made from last season, noting that Berhalter creates unusual attacking situations for a No. 6 role. Vancouver next plays FC Dallas, which has won back-to-back matches and sits seventh in the West. Sorensen emphasized that points matter, but so does how the team plays, aiming to win before a break during an eight-game road run.
