About 20 times a year at CenturyLink Field, a nervous energy from 40,000 fans sweeps across the stadium. Moments later, the faint sounds of a beating drum are followed by a harmonious clap. And another. And another. From the corner of the stadium, 11 Sounders walk onto the field. The opposing team walks in stride, too. Somewhere in that line stands a father and son, Nicolás and Leandro Lodeiro, who walk hand-inhand. It’s their happy place. “[Leandro] is my anchor to the earth, my energy,” Lodeiro said in Spanish. “It is my joy in life and when I see him being happy with me, enjoying all the things that I wanted to experience as a child, it’s the best feeling.” When Lodeiro signed with the Sounders in July 2016, there was a mutual excitement for club and player, but neither side really knew what to expect. A 27-yearold midfielder for Argentine power Boca Juniors, Lodeiro was two years removed from competing in the 2014 FIFA World Cup with Uruguay and had won titles in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and the Netherlands.

The Sounders, meanwhile, had parted ways with long-time head coach Sigi Schmid just one day earlier. Sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference table, the Rave Green were hopeful Lodeiro was the miracle they desperately needed. A few months later, Lodeiro, who was named MLS Newcomer of the Year, hoisted the club’s first MLS Cup trophy to cap one of the most improbable runs in league history. As Lodeiro sparked the club’s on-field performance, he was also settling into his new home in the Pacific Northwest. He and his wife, Micaela, moved with Leandro. Toward the end of the season, Lodeiro began to hold Leandro during player walkouts. He did it a few more times during the 2017 season, and by 2018, Leandro, known colloquially as Lele by players like Cristian Roldan, walked with his father on each home matchday. “We love it,” Lodeiro said with a smile. “Leandro enjoys it so much and he is becoming more aware of soccer and what it means to us. For [my wife and me], when

we see him at CenturyLink Field, going to the locker room, playing with Cristian, the way he played with Ozzie [Alonso], Víctor [Rodríguez] and Raúl [Ruidíaz], and when we see Leandro enjoying the soccer pitch, I think that’s our favorite part.” In the same way Lodeiro loves watching his son run around at CenturyLink Field, fans have become enamored with the attacking midfielder, too. Over the past two and a half seasons, Lodeiro has proven arguably the most effective playmaker in club history. His 36 MLS assists have already set a club record, including a franchise-best 16 during the 2018 season. “His work rate and his brain are impressive,” General Manager & President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey said on the day Lodeiro signed in 2016. “Nico sees the game and sees passes that I think a lot of players don’t see. More than anything you need a brain…I think Nico is going to be our giant soccer brain and he’s going to drive us [forward] from a soccer IQ, soccer acumen perspective and make the entire group better.”

“I WA N T TO W IN IT A LL... I WANT TO HELP T HE C LU B GE T MORE C HA MP IO N S HIP S .” - Nicolás Lodeiro

In the ever-shifting world of soccer, plenty has changed since Lodeiro made his mark in his first season. Two of his closest Spanish-speaking friends upon arrival, Nelson Valdez and Ozzie Alonso, are no longer with the club. He’s welcomed two new buddies, Spaniard Víctor Rodríguez and Peruvian Raúl Ruidíaz, into the attack and has established relationships on and off the field with them. He and Micaela also added a daughter to their family, Rafaela, in October 2017. By the end of his fourth season with the Sounders this fall, including his third full campaign, Lodeiro will have been with Seattle longer than any other club in his professional career. “I’m very happy. If there was a place where I wanted my daughter to be born, it was here in Seattle,” Lodeiro said. “Since we arrived, everyone has treated us so well. The city is wonderful. We are very happy here, and to have something like that for life. “We’ll always remember that Rafaela was born here, that she is from Seattle and that is amazing. As for Leandro, while he wasn’t born here in Seattle, he was very little when we arrived, so he is practically from here. My family is very happy to be in such a beautiful city and have the fans’ love.” With his family pleased and his role with the team well established, Lodeiro is solely focused on bringing more trophies to Seattle. In 2017, the Sounders fell short in a rematch of 2016 MLS Cup, while last year’s home defeat to Portland in the Western Conference Semifinals will not soon be forgotten. “I want to win it all,” he said. “All our matches. Give it my all in every match…I want to help the club get more championships. I came here with the goal of making the Sounders one of the best clubs in MLS, and we are achieving it.”

STEVE ZAKUANI: How did your move to Seattle happen?

SZ: What did you expect when you moved to Seattle?

FREDY MONTERO: I was back in Colombia playing for Deportivo Cali. I remember after a game, I had to go to one of the owners’ house, and I had the opportunity to meet [current VP of Soccer & Sporting Director] Chris Henderson and [current Head] Coach [Brian] Schmetzer. After that meeting, I remember going back to my house and calling my parents and saying, ‘Hey, be ready because soon the news is going to be out there. I’m going to be transferred to MLS.’

FM: The first thing I was thinking about when I arrived to Seattle was where I was going to live. I want to be able to speak Spanish. Do I need a translator? Google didn’t tell me anything. We arrived, and I didn’t know anyone. It was snowing. I saw it through the [airplane] window when we landed at Sea-Tac. That was a shock. I never experienced snow before. Coming from 40 to 45 degrees [Celsius] in Barranquilla [Colombia], where I was on vacation, that was an extreme change for me.

“ I WA N T ED TO GO TO T HE LO C KER RO O M A N D CA LL MY PA REN T S A N D SAY, ‘ T HE F IRS T GA ME I S C O RED T WO GOA LS . I’ M HERE A N D E V ERYO N E KN OW S W HO I A M N OW.’ ” - Fredy Montero

SZ: What was your life like then when you first got settled? FM: We had a person who was driving us around, we were still looking for a house. I remember Ozzie [Alonso] and I were going to every single appointment together, telling him, ‘I don’t like this house, I don’t like this house either.’ When we went to restaurants, nobody spoke Spanish so we had to go to someone in the kitchen to tell us, ‘This is steak, this is pasta,’ or whatever you want to eat. And then we had that menu and went back to the waiter and we pointed that to him. SZ: What do you remember about the inaugural match in 2009? FM: I remember [Head Coach] Sigi [Schmid] talking to us, ‘Just do what we did in preseason. Go have fun and enjoy, it’s

going to be a loud crowd, but don’t let that make you nervous.’ For me, everything was new: the anthem, the fireworks. Scoring the first goal, that was something I was dreaming about. SZ: Did anyone in Colombia watch the game? FM: I think they watched the highlights afterward, but for sure I wanted to go to the locker room and call my parents and say, ‘The first game I scored two goals. I’m here and everyone knows who I am now.’ SZ: You were just a young kid at the time, how were you so confident? FM: I always believed in my technique. That’s something I’ve been working on through the years. I don’t like when I lose the ball easily because that’s who I am.

31


SZ: We won our first trophy as a club that year, the 2009 U.S. Open Cup title. What do you remember about that? FM: The first one is always the one that is going to be in your memory forever. I scored one goal, Roger Levesque scored the second one. We won 2-1. I remember the goalkeeper stepped on me and he got a red card [laughs]. Then we were celebrating. SZ: What was the best goal you scored in Seattle? FM: It was in New England. I started from the middle of the field, I started dribbling past two or three opponents, which I don’t remember doing that often. I just saw Steve Zakuani dribbling by people like they were cones. Maybe that day I had [Steve’s] boots [laughs]. I shot from distance and the ball went higher and then came down and it was an amazing goal.” SZ: How do you talk to people now about your time in Seattle? FM: “Seattle gave me a lot. When I came to Seattle, I wasn’t looking to stay there for many years. As a young kid, you say, ‘OK, one year maybe here, you prove yourself, you gain this confidence and then move to Europe.’ But the second year I had the opportunity to stay with Seattle and we had a really good team. When I realized that, ‘Yes, I’m here now, I’m going to focus on this team, I’m going to focus on me,’ that’s when I started to move forward, started to speak the language, trying to establish myself with the culture, and I’m happy that I met my wife in Seattle.” SZ: Sigi Schmid passed away recently. How important was he in your career? FM: Without Sigi, if I met another coach, it would have been difficult for me. The transition of coming from a different culture, a different game, the style — he gave me confidence. He knew that I was a kid, that I was coming to a new place. With the experience that he had, I thank Sigi for every single moment, not only on the

32

field, but off the field. Sometimes I had the opportunity to meet him in a coffee shop and talk to him, and he would tell me the things that I needed to do better to get on a good level.” SZ: After you left the Sounders, you traveled all over: Millonarios in Colombia, Sporting in Portugal, Tianjin TEDA in China, to the Vancouver Whitecaps, back to Sporting and now to Vancouver again. What have you learned from traveling and playing all over the world? FM: The most important thing I’ve learned from soccer — in the past five years we moved to four continents: South America, Europe, Asia, North America — you have to be a good person. Fans will love you, fans will remember you. We had the potential to move to different teams. You show who you are as a player. That’s what I always try to do. I play my game, I don’t try to do something different from what I am.” SZ: Despite living all over, you decided to open a coffee shop in Seattle. Why Seattle? FM: Seattle is where I met my wife. Seattle is where my church is. I have a lot of friends there. When we look back, my wife and I, we ask what the best place is to raise our kids. Seattle has all these things that we want for our kids. Seattle is a good location, it’s a great city, there are nice parks and nice people. SZ: Everyone was really close on that 2009 team. How do you describe the bond that was formed? FM: When people talk about Seattle, I remember our group: 2009, 2010, 2011. With all due respect for the guys who came after, we made what Seattle is now. We set the foundation. We still talk to all the guys, and when we see each other — once in a while I see James Riley — it’s like we played yesterday. That’s what I feel. It’s something that’s always going to connect us because we started from zero, and now 10 years after that, we still have that memory and that connection.
