Angelino finds UCL Opponents Man United to be Average

RB Leipzig wing back Angelino has experience with Manchester United, the first opponent in the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League group stage and spoke about the former dominant EPL team in detail with RBLive.

"What I've seen from Manchester United thus far," said Angelino. "Sometimes their world class, others they're average. We don't have to hide."

Leipzig made a name for themselves last season with major wins over both Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid. Their magical run came to an end in the semi-final where they lost to Paris St. Germain. Still, their arrival on such a stage has put the world's game on notice and let the bigger powers know that there is a fearless team on the rise.

Over the past five years, Leipzig has become a prime destination for young players who haven't gotten time on major teams. Angelino is just one example, having joined from Manchester City where he could barely make the bench. With the East German club he has shown his ability and now is one of the hottest players in his position anywhere in the world.

"Both are extremely concerned with football," said Angelino when talking about his former manager Pep Guardiola and current one Julian Nagelsmann. "The coach trusts me. I can feel that and give it back with performance, and his (Nagelsmann) style of play matches my qualities exactly."

Leipzig had the last week off due to the international break but the Bundesliga kicks off again this weekend. Angelino and club will play Augsburg. Currently they sit atop the Bundesliga and will want to continue the momentum before playing Manchester United in two weeks.

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...

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...
