"Each game is a little different. I would say that we haven't played a complete game, and that's the thing that bothers me most," Schmetzer said. "The consistency that we had there for a while... that's gone missing, so that's what we're trying to fix."
"Jesper Sorensen has done a great job. "He's got this team going again, and they started like a house on fire. They had a little mid-season lull, but then they had their big signing and it's helped."
"He's gaining new experiences in North America, broadening his horizons, perfecting another language, and getting to know a new culture," Rummenigge said. "He could prepare himself there to some extent for a possible coaching job afterwards."
Seattle sit fifth in the Western Conference with four regular-season games remaining, 11 points behind Vancouver, who sit second and one point behind leaders San Diego FC. The Sounders have suffered a drop-off, losing consecutive matches to Inter Miami and Austin FC after a run of one defeat in 16 matches following the Club World Cup. Head coach Brian Schmetzer identified a lack of complete, consistent performances as the primary concern and said the team is trying to fix that. Vancouver have regained form under Jesper Sorensen, beating Sporting KC and drawing with Portland despite a minor injury to Thomas Müller, who has been pictured back in training and could return. Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge praised Müller’s move to North America as broadening his horizons and potentially preparing him for coaching, and Müller scored a hat-trick in his most recent MLS outing.
