The team, which is currently in Florida ahead of a cup meeting with Mexican Cruz Azul, encountered an unexpected visit during Monday's training.

Then a large alligator stepped onto the plan.

- My players ran towards it while I ran from it.

We talk about being fearless and aggressive here but then I did not think we would have to include this…, says coach Chris Armas in the clip and adds:

- But it was a cool way to start training.

See when the players escape from the alligator in the clip above.
