Descriptions

While the majority of players have returned from the strong 2023 roster, there are plenty of new faces that made their first forays into the Orlando Health Training Ground Monday morning.

Standout MLS veteran Nico Lodeiro, who signed just 11 days ago, got his first experience at OHTG and already looking sharp in his first session wearing purple. The three top draftees from the 2024 MLS SuperDraft, Jeorgio Kocevski, Yutaro Tsukada and Filip Mirkovic, also got their first taste of a professional-level training session. All three of them looked eager on the pitch and were able to keep up with the intensity and pace of the session. It's also worth mentioning they were some of the earliest players to arrive at the training grounds. Always important to set a good first impression on your first day, and they did just that.

In fact, Pareja spoke about how excited he was for the four new faces in the squad.

"You know how much the draft excites me and how much Orlando has taken advantage of this process," he said. "So I can't wait to see the boys with the first group and see them competing. I'm very, very optimistic. With Nico, he's going to bring a hierarchy to us. He has won the league already and won a bunch of things, and at this moment, it's something that we can use. And the best part of that is that Nico selected us, among some possibilities that he had; it was not just that we wanted him, but he really wanted us, and that excites me."

That level of excitement Oscar has for the new season and his players has been one of the constant themes for every preseason this club has had. Even with all the changes in players, staff and everything in between, it's always exciting to see what a new season will bring.
