The Mane Land continues our weekly look at the Lions when compared to the league as a whole. This week, the focus is on the defensive midfield.
At the beginning of 2015, Orlando City brought in some big signings that many thought would be the key players in a successful inaugural season. Among those players were Kaká, Brek Shea, and Amobi Okugo. But names that many supporters glossed over when reading about the team might have been the most important in 2015: Darwin Cerén and Cristian Higuita.
Cerén, a player returning to the fold after joining Orlando in 2014 for the final USL season, was not a player many expected to be able to handle the rigors of MLS play.
