I\u2019ve had lot of experiences and I kind of told myself from the beginning I want to bring back everything that I\u2019ve learned about the new culture, learned about the new style of play and come back here and kind of see how I\u2019ve grown as a player.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In terms of all the extra things happening, that\u2019s just something when the time comes. For me right now, it\u2019s focusing on acclimating back to the team and seeing how I can be able to affect the games in the next couple of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daryl Dike\u2019s first media availability since returning to OrlandoCity<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some insight regarding his future, calling transfer rumors \u201cextra noise\u201d and is focused on acclimating back to the team.<\/p>\n<p>Dike enjoyed a meteoric rise at Barnsley, scoring nine goals in 19 appearances, helping lead the Tykes to the brink of Premier League promotion. That\u2019s fueled rumors of the 21-year-old\u2019s future. Barnsley declined the purchase option at the end of his four-month loan, but there are reportedly plenty of other suitors in England and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, I\u2019ve always said I want to play in the top competitions, play against the top competition and play under the greatest staff,\u201d Dike said. \u201cThus far, I\u2019ve been blessed with being able to see guys like Nani, [who has] won tons of competitions. For me, I want to be able compete at high levels, whether it be at World Cups and playing in all these top competitions in the world. For me, I just want to continue to grow as a player and be able to do those things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dike returned stateside and struck his first goal for the USMNT in a 4-1 win over Costa Rica last week. He\u2019s now back in Orlando with his focus squarely on leading the Lions to new heights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis squad has already proved that they can compete at the top level,\u201d Dike said, when as asked about a potential MLS Cup run. \u201cFor me, I obviously just want to be involved, I want to help the team out as much as possible. It\u2019s for sure something that can be happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>375 ViewsBy Dylan Butler @Dylan_Butler A day after returning to training
