“The first reaction, the emotion, is excitement. To have a player of that quality, a world superstar like Antoine, to have the thought to come here,” Wilf added. “We want to have a championship-caliber, first-class Club, and with this signing, we really are where we need to be. We keep pushing and pushing.
“We’re showing we’re a world-class soccer market and a soccer club, and this puts us on the map in a unique way. And so, again, having Antoine here is just so exciting that way. At the same time, it shows the kind of destination Orlando is. The city, the fan base, the support, our front office, the entire city, our sponsors, all the support that makes it what it is, is showing that we’re a world-class destination, where a player, world-caliber, like Antoine, wants to come to Orlando. So that’s a really big statement about our Club, about the city, and I just can’t wait for this to get going.”
