The Lions head over to Bradenton’s IMG Academy tomorrow to begin a week of intense training in preparation for the 2021 Major League Soccer season. After last year, Orlando City won’t be sneaking up on anyone in MLS and so it’s important to get off to a good start in what could be Orlando’s most important in MLS to date.
A bad season could result in the team sliding back to being among the league’s bottom feeders, while a second consecutive good year could cement the Lions’ reputation as a club that has the ambition of remaining among the MLS Cup contenders for years to come.
