Signal Intel: Back to Orlando

In preparation for the Chicago Fire’s trip to Orlando City, we had the opportunity to talk to Ben Miller of our sister site The Mane Land about Orlando’s seemingly sudden turnaround.

Hot Time In Old Town: Orlando has had one of the more surprising turnarounds, going from basically last place last season to a solid playoff contender. What player has had the biggest impact on the team’s success?

The Mane Land: Mauricio Pereyra has been hugely important this year. While he was brought in during the middle of last season and showed flashes of what he’s capable of, having more time to settle into MLS has made all the difference in his play.
