Returning Orlando City players try to help new signees quickly adapt to MLS

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — A season or two after feeling like the new kids in town, Orlando City forwards Tesho Akindele and Chris Mueller are now helping to lead a Lions team filled with new and young faces.

“I’m getting a little bit older, I feel like more of a veteran, so I feel that I can kind of pass wisdom down to people,” Akindele said. “[I’m] just kind of using my age and experience as well as my goal-scoring ability to have an affect.”

Mueller described his offseason as “pretty much solo dolo” as the remaining Lions roster scattered to travel and visit family members.
