They said it
"Now we have Tigres in front of us. They are one of the best teams in the territory, one of the best teams in the competition, they are the Super Tigres and all those things, but we are Orlando City and we are going to go there with faith, with character and we know we can do this. We are going to represent what we earn. Now Cincinnati is gone, and we go to Monterrey with positives, with energy and pride as we take Orlando City into its first international competition. We are proud." -- Orlando City head coach Oscar Pareja
