Schweinsteiger will play on Chicago’s back line this Saturday
That is what occurred last week with the Chicago Fire down at home to the Portland Timbers.
The move led to two assists by Schweinsteiger from the back line and a come back for Chicago to gain the tie and the one point.
“I think we didn’t start well and we struggled with the defensive line,” said Paunovic after the last game.
“After we switched to the different formation with Basti dropped in the line of three at the back, he did a fantastic job in organizing and giving proper instructions to our boys.”
Schweinsteiger started the game at midfield. But, with Chicago down again early on at home against the Timbers, Paunovic adjusted. Link.
Expect something similar in Saturday’s encounter but this time from the beginning.
“In the past, we’ve shown that playing Bastian in that role has worked very well. Right now, we need him in that role until our defense regains the confidence, the order and fluidity we’re missing,” said Paunovic.

Paunovic puts pressure on his Fire
“We are not a charity. This is professional soccer, and whoever doesn’t understand that, doesn’t have a spot. You have to come here with a desire to learn, and that’s the environment we’ve created because the coaching staff doesn’t sleep until we have everything prepared for our guys. We give everything we have, I don’t say much, but it is everything we have, and we want answers. When I say difficult decisions, it’s very clear to me. Either you perform and give it your all, or you’re out of here.”
Chicago’s coach has put it out there that they need better results from players this week or could get a bit ugly. Link.
Hejduk..
#MLS2ATX GEAR!
They have shitty hats now. What qualifies someone for full-kit-wanker status when dressed in astroturf swag? I feel like Greeley’s army must getting close to it. #SaveTheCrew #FullSwagWanker pic.twitter.com/QMLvnXUeAP

But, Greeley’s army? It’s basically those three guys and they won’t even wear #MLS2ATX gear.
And the astroturf tifo that they hand to Austinites walking around the Texas capital.

But, hey, perhaps they can hire some actors.
Precourt and his entourage would do anything before ever admitting they ever made a wrong move.
