In the final days leading up to Orlando City’s departure for the MLS Is Back tournament, coach Oscar Pareja was eager to dive straight into quarantine.
The team entered the bubble at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel on Thursday, starting a period of isolation that could last up to 35 days depending on how deep of a run the Lions make.
Despite the distance from friends and family, Pareja said he feels grateful for the opportunity to train and compete amid the coronavirus pandemic. And the new coach sees the tournament as a chance to rewrite the script for the Lions.
