Angelino Remains at Leipzig on Loan

RB Leipzig had to settle with Manchester City with regards to wingback Angelino, keeping him on for an additional season on loan. The move comes after reports that Leipzig were nearing a deal to keep the Spaniard permanently. Despite the loan agreement, Leipzig will have the ability to buy the player for the four years at the end of the of season.

"Angel hasn't needed much time to settle in with us," said Head of Sport Markus Krosche. "He's understood our brand of football from the start. He did very well in the round and also helped us achieve our goals in the Champions League. He's made a great impact with us."

Angelino joined on loan from Manchester City last season and had an uphill climb with then new manager Julian Nagelsmann. Lower in the depth chart, the Spaniard had to prove himself but quickly did so and made himself indispensable by the end of the campaign. In total the 23-year-old made 17 appearances for Leipzig and scored one goal over that time.

He will fall into a loaded back line next season that will still include Lukas Klostermann and Marcel Halstenberg. Although, Nagelsmann has shown a willingness to play with a three-man back line, giving Angelino the chance to move up the field in more offensive role. Should that continue, he could be expected to be a major part of Leipzig's Bundesliga campaign.

"My first six-months with Leipzig have been amazing," said Angelino. "I got lots of game time straight away and I really like the coach and the team's approach. We also had a really successful Bundesliga and Champions League campaign. I'm very much looking forward to the future and lots more success."

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...

Quotes: Red Bulls Show Promise, But More Work Need To Be Done

photo by Matt Kremkau Sixty seconds in a ninety-minute match. That’s all it took for Sporting Kansas City to ruin the Opening Day festivities at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The supporters in attendance saw crisp passing and a stout defense that kept the visitors at bay, despite not having striker Alan Pulido in the starting lineup. But significantly, the supporters were buoyed by a return to that press that has last seen since Jesse Marsch was in charge. But that was the first 45 minutes. In the second half, things turned for the better and then, shockingly, worse for the home side that evening. Midfielder Caden Clark, who scored the opening goal, spoke about the match as a whole: I’ve kept that in the back of my mind, actually, not scoring at home. I really wanted to do that in front of the supporters, and it was great to do that in front of the few that were here tonight who brought the noise. When I scored that [goal] the place was shaking, and you feed off of that and gai...
