Orlando City focused on strengthening backline it expects to be tested during MLS tournament

As Orlando City prepares for its first match in the MLS is Back Tournament, the team is focused on creating the same style as it started the season — an aggressive press built out of a rigorous backline.

The team’s two-a-day training sessions have been focused on rebuilding the team’s endurance and speed as quickly as possible.

It’s an exhausting process. Players say they spend most of their downtime in the hotel resting and recovering, doing low-energy activities like reading or playing video games. But that effort is paying off as they begin to feel their leg strength returning.
