MAKING A LEGACY CRISTIAN ROLDAN IS ADAPTING TO A NEW LEADERSHIP ROLE

ABOUT THESE PHOTOS Cristian Roldan poses in Seahurst Park in Burien

WHEN CRISTIAN ROLDAN LOOKS AROUND THE PRACTICE FIELD AT STARFIRE SPORTS COMPLEX, THERE AREN’T TOO MANY FAMILIAR FACES FROM WHEN HE FIRST JOINED THE SEATTLE SOUNDERS AS A WIDE-EYED 19-YEAR-OLD ROOKIE BACK IN 2015. There’s actually only one to be exact: Goalkeeper Stefan Frei, who was acquired by Seattle via trade from Toronto FC prior to the start of the 2014 season. That makes Roldan the second-longest tenured player on the roster at the age of 24. With that distinction comes a whole new set of responsibilities. Now in his fifth MLS season, Roldan has become a leader by necessity. He’s one of the primary vocal presences in a locker room that still features plenty of older veterans. While it’s a task Roldan says he’s welcomed, he admits it may have arrived sooner than he anticipated when he first arrived in Seattle. “It’s a bit odd,” Roldan said. “Stef is the only player that’s been here longer than me and that’s rather interesting because I’m 24 and I have to embody a little bit more leadership. Not a lot of
teams have a 24-year-old that’s leading by example and also vocally. So, in that sense I’ve embraced that role. It feels a bit odd, but I’m happy to play that role.” In a way, though, Roldan has been preparing for this for a while. Thinking back to that rookie season, he says going pro at 19 forced him to grow up quickly. He had to earn the acceptance of what was a veteran-laden group coming off a 20-win season and a Supporters’ Shield trophy. He played in 22 games in that 2015 season, starting 11, before breaking through as a full-time starter on the 2016 team that won an MLS Cup title.

“I think growing up fast is, number one, at 19 you’re in a locker room full of older guys,” Roldan said. “Especially my first year there were a lot of older guys. And I had to fit in as soon as I could and it was tough. I’m not going to lie. “The second year I felt like I was able to take a bigger leap into both being more of an adult, more mature, and also on the field just getting better and understanding the culture within the locker room,” he continued. “I attribute a lot of that to guys like Jordan [Morris] coming in and just feeling like I’m part of the team. I think naturally it’s progressively gotten better.
I think my understanding of where I’m at on the field and within the team, I feel like I’ve gotten every year a little bit better.” Since then, Roldan has become one of the most indispensible players on the Sounders and one of the most consistent week-to-week contributors in all of MLS. Originally an attacking midfielder during his standout two-season stint at the University of Washington, the Sounders switched him to a box-to-box role, where he’s thrived, becoming one of the best possession midfielders in the league and a relentless, high-motor defender. Watch Roldan play for 90 minutes and

you’ll notice two things: When he gets the ball, he rarely loses it. And he pretty much never stops running. He’s also earned a reputation as a versatile utility man, able to play virtually anywhere on the field based on what the team needs. He’s played right back, as a No. 10 and on the wing, tallying four goals and nine assists in 2018 when he spent more time playing higher up the field. It’s that on-field consistency and versatility that has, in part, allowed him to assume a more vocal presence in the locker room without it feeling contrived or forced. “I think it’s something I need to continue to work on,” Roldan said. “Obviously, with my play and trying to lead by example, showing up to every game and doing my part for the team, I think the guys see that. It’s not about forcing the issue and becoming a leader vocally, that comes with time, that comes with being captain for a few games here and there. It’s happened gradually and naturally. I think it will continue on that path, but I haven’t forced the issue and I think that’s the best part of it.” The 2019 season has forced Roldan to contend with one of his biggest adjustments yet – one that accelerated the need for him to step up both on game days and in the locker room.
Of all the roster turnover that has taken place since he joined the club, perhaps the most significant occurred during the 2018 offseason, when legendary midfielder Ozzie Alonso departed for Minnesota United in free agency. Alonso is one of the most beloved players in Sounders history, but he was also Roldan’s mentor, a key figure in teaching him the fine points of the position and how to be a professional. One of the beautiful aspects of Alonso’s game has always been his status as the ultimate mistake-eraser – his uncanny ability to cover limitless ground and cut out counterattacks. On top of that, Roldan says an overlooked quality was his ability to facilitate the attack, giving him a two-way skillset that was never going to be easy to replace. Starting alongside Gustav Svensson, Roldan said it’s been about figuring out how to work together to fill that void by playing to their own strengths. It’s been a work in progress, but for the first half of 2019, Seattle’s defensive midfield has largely remained a strength.
21
“Ozzie has been known for his ability to track back, stop any counters, and I would say Gustav has done a fantastic job of that,” Roldan said. “But I think what Ozzie was underrated for was his ability to bring the ball from our half to the final third and really start our attacks. I think Gustav and myself have shared that responsibility, so it’s not up to one guy now. It takes two of us to really do that. Obviously, we miss his leadership but I’m happy he’s doing well and obviously we’re doing well.” For a player who has already appeared in 140 MLS matches, it’s scary to think that there are still greater heights to be reached. But when it comes to Roldan, it’s entirely possible he hasn’t reached his ceiling. He’s played so many games, it can be easy to forget he still hasn’t reached his 25th birthday. It’s part of why the Sounders chose to lock him into the club for the foreseeable future with a multi-year contract extension during the 2018 offseason, keeping him in the city that he considers his adopted home. “I feel like this is home,” Roldan said. “It’s great to not only feel loved within the club but also within the fans. It’s fantastic because it gives me so much more confidence going into games knowing that I’m going to fight for them and they’re going to fight for me. “And it’s that mutual feeling that we care about each other and we care about the success of the team and that’s all I ever ask for,” he added. “I’ve got more of it. That’s something I will always cherish and Seattle has been a major part of my career thus far and hopefully it continues to.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Catching up with former Sounders forward Sébastien Le Toux INTERVIEW BY STEVE ZAKUANI
AS PART OF OUR “10 YEARS IN MLS” CAMPAIGN, FORMER SEAT TLE SOUNDERS WINGER STEVE ZAKUANI SAT DOWN WITH SOME OF THE CLUB’S MOST INFLUENTIAL PLAYERS OF THE PAST DECADE. IN THIS ISSUE, ZAKUANI SPOKE WITH FORMER SOUNDERS FORWARD SÉBASTIEN LE TOUX.
25
STEVE ZAKUANI: Tell me about that moment when you knew you were going from USL to MLS. Did you always know it was going to happen? SÉBASTIEN LE TOUX: My first year in USL, we had a team that won everything. We had a great team. We won the championship. We won the playoffs. Luckily, I got the MVP award and the best goal award of the league, which was new to me because I didn’t know it existed in this country. But I really enjoyed playing for the team and the city. At the end of the first year, we knew that MLS expansion was coming in two years. But after the first year in USL, I got a few contacts with MLS teams. Even MLS asked me if I was interested in doing the Combine, but I wanted to be in Seattle. I remember the LA Galaxy approached me to see if I wanted to sign with them. With Adrian [Hanauer], we talked a lot about it. I think we found a loophole in the system of MLS rules for me to be able to sign with MLS and for MLS to loan me to the Seattle Sounders USL team, which would make an MLS player for the year after because I would play with Seattle. SZ: What was your impression of Seattle as a city?
SLT: I had no idea what Seattle was.
My only idea of Seattle was watching “Grey’s Anatomy” in France. So, I was like, ‘Where’s the hospital?’ But people told me it didn’t exist [laughs]. I didn’t know a lot, so I was just discovering every day, and I fell in love. The city is beautiful, and people were very, very nice. It was a little bit hard for me because the nine-hour time difference in France, so keeping in contact with family and friends was a bit harder. After, I was the only French speaker in the team, so I had to go deep into speaking English. I really wanted to know more about the team and the city, so it was a great first year to speed up into learning everything about this beautiful town, and the language as well.”
SZ: What are your memories of the first MLS season in 2009, and how different was it from your time in USL?
SLT: It was very different. Now we
had a locker room to change [laughs]. More money came to the team for sure. Sigi [Schmid] came along, so [we had] a
26
new coach. It was kind of a whole new beginning for me because so many new players arrived. I think Sigi was not too warm about having a USL player in the team. So, it was a bit of a weird feeling for me being in the USL and having all the players I played with fighting for spots on the team when I was already on the team. I was working hard every practice to show Sigi that I was able to play in MLS and that I deserved my spot.
SZ: How did you end up living on
Whidbey Island and commuting to training every day?
SLT: Life in Seattle is very expensive.
So, I tried to think a little bit about what I wanted to do. I like being outside. I’m from the countryside in France. City life is fun, but I like being outside. What brought me to Whidbey Island was an ex-girlfriend who had a house out there. I went a few times and I really enjoyed it. I met a few people over there who told me that most of the island during the regular year is unoccupied. I found a really good house that made my life happier. It was good to, after a long week of being with the guys, be on an island and just breathing the fresh air and think about something else.
SZ: What would you say about the fans in MLS?
SLT: I had no idea that coming into the first game [in 2009] against New York that it was going to be that crazy. It was awesome. It really took off. I knew that in the Pacific Northwest that soccer was already big. It was nice to see and it was good for the city, for sure. SZ: Do you still feel a connection to the city of Seattle and the people?
SLT: I always enjoy going back. It’s
always nice to be recognized, especially when you left for a long time. I don’t have any bad feelings about Seattle in any way. I always had a great time, from the USL to the MLS. It was fun. It was a good time with everybody. Every time you tell somebody from Seattle that you played for the Sounders, they are always happy and welcoming.
27
SZ: You met Adrian Hanauer in France.
Could you have imagined then that you would end up spending the next 12 years in the U.S.?
SLT: No [laughs]. If you had told me that
[I] would have a great career and that [I] would play with Steve Zakuani, an Akron boy, and that [I] would have won titles? Not a chance. Especially being a right back in France and telling me that I would be one of the top scorers and be part of the history in Seattle and Philadelphia Union. It’s hard to understand now because I am just freshly retired. I think later on it will be an awesome feeling. Every time I think about my life here, it’s crazy because I never thought I would be playing in America. I didn’t even know you had soccer in America [laughs] 12 years ago when I left. It’s amazing to see where soccer has come, and I’m happy to be part of that for sure.
“IT ’ S AMA ZING TO SEE WHERE SOCCER HAS COME, AND I’M HAPPY TO BE PART OF THAT FOR SURE.” - Sébastien Le Toux
29
SZ: Are there any memories that stick out
SZ: You are recently retired. Do you know what
SLT: Every road trip, which is crazy
SLT: I’m just enjoying retirement life. Being my
for you?
because you take the bus. I remember we had a trip from Atlanta to Charleston to Miami in a bus [laughs]. It was crazy. Being on the bus with those guys was so much fun. But otherwise, every time you have a chance to step on the field for Seattle, it was great. Of course winning the Open Cup was one of the biggest accomplishments we had as a team. Winning the USL championship was great, too. It was the first time winning something for me as a team in America. You remember a lot about the connections you had with your teammates.
30
you want to do next?
own boss is kind of nice. Playing for 20 years, since I was 15, I never had a weekend. I never had a chance to be on vacation for three days. It’s kind of nice to decide when you want to work and when you don’t want to work. I’m trying a few things. I will for sure still be in soccer and connected to [Philadelphia]. I’m doing some broadcasting right now, so working on my English is very nice. Talking about the game is very easy. But after, we’ll see. I have a company with my wife for home-staging, which is more her thing but I help her with that. It’s fun doing something completely different from soccer. Right now, I’m just happy with what I’m doing. I
just need to figure what exactly I love to do because, like you, soccer was the thing I loved to do since I was a kid. I just need to find something that really excites me and makes me want to wake up every morning and just be happy to do it.
SZ: As the club’s first MLS signing, what do you think is your legacy in Seattle?
SLT: I don’t know. I was just happy to
play for this team. I just had fun playing soccer. Hopefully, I made other people
have fun watching us play. The most important thing when you play for a team is [that] you care. And I did playing for Seattle. You always want to bring the fans to the stadium, have them support the team, and be one of the best teams in the country. I did my best to always connect with the fans and share my love for the game. When somebody asked for a picture it was always nice for me. The legacy is just having fun of the field and trying to bring the love of the game of soccer to America and growing it.
