“I’ve always been hard on myself,” #Sounders midfielder João Paulo said following Tuesday’s training session. “I know when I’m not at my best. I know this is not my best season, not my best moment. But even when I’m not at my best, I’m doing everything I can to help the team win games. I’ll do whatever the team needs and I hope to be back to my level. No one wants more than me to play well. I’m training hard, I’m doing everything I can to get back to that level.”

It’s not bad idea to play the No. 1 team in the West at home and build on what we had a couple of days ago. I think we’re ready.”
