Sigi Schmid Player Quotations

Sebastian is a very attractive player. He has a huge pedigree in soccer and he has a strong desire to play in the States. He has the potential to be an impact player in this league.

He is the type of player that has a tremendous desire to win. He needs to be an example to our younger players. He needs to be a vocal player, but he can't do any of that until he gets on the field, so first he needs to get healthy.

Joel is a versatile defender who was here for our mini-camp in November. He can play centrally or on the right and is a young player with great potential.

It is a competitive position, but I don't think any player should lose his position due to injury. When you are out a long time, it gets a little bit harder.

We don't want to push him too quickly too early. With a player like Duncan, you need to be careful because he is the type of guy that gives you everything he has. We have to keep the reins on him.

We are very excited about the addition of Tim Ward. He is a very good young player with a bright future ahead of him and he can play a number of different positions.

Adding Ezra is a big plus for us. He has championship experience and is a player who I have a long and positive history with and who will be a valuable addition to our team.
