For Orlando City midfield veteran Cristian Higuita, the arrival of James O’Connor has felt like a breath of fresh air.
Higuita, who scored during Sunday’s 4-3 road loss to L.A. Galaxy, told Pro Soccer USA that despite the results not going their way during the past three games, O’Connor’s influence is helping the team play with more confidence.
“Soccer is complicated at times. It’s tough to let go of a coach like Jason Kreis, who I considered a friend. But then comes James, and I see it more than just a benefit but a breath of fresh air,” Higuita said.
