Anyone who has watched Orlando City play under Head Coach Oscar Pareja will have noticed the high press the team plays. The purpose is to put pressure on the opposing defense, making it difficult for them to work the ball out of the back. Those watching Orlando City B the last couple of games might have noticed something similar.
The Young Lions worked the press to perfection during much of the first half Friday night in their 1-1 draw with Fort Lauderdale CF. Moises Tablante, Julian Kennedy, and Wilfredo Rivera worked tirelessly to put pressure on the Herons’ defense.
