Orlando City Three Stars: New England Revolution (Preseason Edition)

3. Robin Jansson
Robin Jansson will likely be an ever-present member of this column the entire season. Orlando's all time appearance leader is one of the best center backs in the league and easily one of Orlando's best players.
His solidity on defense helped keep New England at bay for much of the game --- at least until the team's legs started to give out around the 70 minute mark. Jansson also does so much good work in possession and build up play. This thread from MLSSoccer.com's Matt Doyle highlights that perfectly.
My initial reaction was to crush the Revs for being pulled apart so easily, but watch how Jansson stares directly at Pereyra, which draws Kessler up & out, which starts the cascade of failures in the New England defense... pic.twitter.com/ey7deRI3lg
