Fredy Montero is looking forward to facing Seattle once again.

The Vancouver Whitecaps forward will have fond memories of his time at Seattle Sounders. He spent four seasons at the club and became the all-time top scorer in the MLS before leaving the club in 2012. After having spent a lot of time at clubs in China, Portugal, and Colombia, he is once again back in the MLS this season. The forward scored his first goal of the season in the win over LA Galaxy a few weeks ago. However, he has witnessed Vancouver Whitecaps going through a terrible run of form with four defeats in the last five matches across all competitions.

Hence, confidence is not high among the Vancouver Whitecaps ranks. Even then a game against his former club will be a special occasion. Seattle Sounders have recovered from the poor start to the season and are unbeaten in the last four games.

They will provide a strong opposition to Vancouver Whitecaps looking for only their second win of the season. In his 160 appearances for Seattle Sounders across the four campaigns, the forward scored 60 goals and has become their leading scorer. Montero is almost certain to start the match, as Vancouver Whitecaps are missing a number of forwards like Erik Hurtado, Brek Shea, and Yordy Reyna.

“It [Seattle Sounders] was an organization that I helped a little bit to build up the name and all the trophies they had a little bit in the beginning I helped a little bit as well. But to be honest, I’m not thinking about my past with Sounders. I always enjoyed my time playing and scoring goals in these kind of games. They are unique, special in MLS. Today is a new day. I’m with Vancouver Whitecaps. I’m proud to be here and I’m going to do my best to win this game,” said Montero.
