Robin Jansson Making Positive Impact on Orlando City’s Defense

As the start of the 2019 Major League Soccer campaign neared, Orlando City Executive Vice President of Soccer Operations Luiz Muzzi and the rest of the front office staff had one more defensive signing up their collective sleeves. Robin Jansson, a 27-year-old Swedish center back who was coming off a championship season for Allsvenskan side AIK — his first season of top flight soccer — was the man Muzzi decided to add. Standing 6-foot-1 and looking like a stereotypical Norseman, the Swede might just be what Orlando City needed to finally have a consistently solid back line.
