Brazilian midfielder Kaká missed Orlando City’s season opener against Real Salt Lake due to a thigh injury. Despite the star player’s absence from the match, Head Coach Adrian Heath praised Kaká in a recent interview for bringing more to the club than just his ability to perform on the field.
Even when Kaká isn’t on the pitch, Coach Heath says that he is making a difference as a role model. With so many young players on Orlando City’s roster, it is important that they have someone to look up to. Last year, Orlando City was one of the youngest clubs in MLS, with the average player age at 24.
