Orlando City will return to the pitch this weekend with a simple task — limiting Toronto’s chances on goal.
The Lions started the 2021 season with the outright best defense in the league, allowing only two goals in the first seven games of the year.
“We need to work on it and try to just get back to the winning feeling,” centerback Robin Jansson said. “It’s going back to the base of our way to play and keeping the team together and just starting from the ground and doing the basic stuff.”
Jansson noted the backline has resembled a revolving door throughout this season as every senior defender — including himself, Antonio Carlos, Ruan, Rodrigo Schlegel and João Moutinho — sat out multiple games for injuries or personal reasons.
