thinks that his side is ready to compete against the MLS giants after working hard in the off-season and making their head coach happy with their performance, and now they are ready to stand against their big opponents.

The South Florida side is ready to make an impact after two seasons in the completion, and they want to become one of the biggest teams in the Eastern Conference under Neville.

"I think we've worked really hard in the off season to amass a roster that we're happy with. We want to compete. We want to compete in this league. We want better results, we want better performances and we want consistency in everything that we do.

"As we approach the first game of the season, there's a lot of excitement because it's a new and exciting, hungry team that wants to compete.

"And in this league, I always say that to compete, you've got to qualify for the playoffs, you've got to reach the playoffs. That's the first hurdle that we want to get to."

Neville has also been asked about his previous comments, which suggested that he couldn't make a difference with their squad at the time, and now he thinks that they have made the required differences in their squad.

"Yeah, I do. I think we've made some big decisions. We feel it will give us the best characters and profiles and performance levels that will help us to compete.

"It's a nice feeling when you go on to a training ground or you're going onto a pitch for a game and you think: these are my boys now, these are the boys that I chose and these are the boys that I want to go on the journey with, and that fills me with a lot of confidence."
