Head coach Veljko Paunovic and the Chicago Fire are back in Florida for the third phase of their 2018 preseason schedule, this time training for 13 days at Bradenton's IMG Academy. Over the course of the next two weeks, Paunovic will get a chance to test out both his old faces and new over the course of four friendlies against MLS, USL and collegiate opponents alike.
“We want to get fit as a team, strong, and work on our concepts with the ball and without the ball - how to put pressure, how to build up," defender Johan Kappelhof said.
