After missing out again on making the MLS Cup playoffs last year, Orlando City coach Jason Kreis knew drastic changes needed to be made.
“I don’t think we went into this offseason saying we need to get better in the goal scoring, but not in the defense,” Kreis said. “Last year at this time, I really felt the goals were there, we just needed to short things up defensively.
“But looking back at things from last year, we feel we need to improve everywhere. That’s how we’ve gone into this offseason is to try to identify the players that are the right ones that should stay and go out and get new ones to complement that group.
