This weekend Orlando City B will take off to Kentucky in their first away game to face Louisville in what Head Coach Adrian Pulis calls a ābaptism of fireā for his younger players.
āWeāre looking forward to it, itās going to be a tough game. I think probably the toughest first road game we couldāve asked forā¦ they had a great season last year. Theyāve got some good players, some experienced players that know the league. We know itās going to be a tough test for us.ā
In their last game Orlando City B was able to walk away with a clean sheet despite playing with only 10 men. With a tough opponent ahead, Coach Pulis noted the young team would need to show the same defensive solidity as last week, along with the same character, fight, and intensity. āI think if that was any sort of example to show them about how important it is they defend and work as a unit then that was that.ā
Going up against a strong opponent however, will give Orlando City B great insight into the days to come. āItās almost like a baptism of fire,ā noted Pulis. āLike I said I donāt think we couldāve asked for a more difficult away game, but itās a challenge that Iām relishing in and the players are too. Weāre going in there really looking forward to it.ā
