Juan Pablo Angel Transfer Rumours

07 07 2007

New York Red Bulls forward Juan Pablo Angel was named MLS Player of the Month for June after scoring 6 goals in 5 matches. This is the 2nd consecutive Player of the Month award for Angel, who scored in 4 of the Red Bulls 5 games in June.

During his torrid goal scoring run, the Colombian forward set a club record by scoring in 6 consecutive games dating back to May. He has helped lead the Red Bulls within 2 points of the Eastern Conference lead.

Angel wasted little time opening his account for the month, scoring with a sliding volley in the 4th minute of a 3-2 loss to the Kansas City Wizards on June 2. 4 days later, Angel had arguably his best game to date as he struck twice in a 90 2nd span to give the Red Bulls a 2-1 comeback win in front of a raucous crowd of more than 20,000 at BMO Field.

On June 10, Angel scored a late consolation goal against D.C. United in a 4-2 loss, and only 6 days later he has his 2nd multi goal game of the month, bagging 2 in an exciting 3-3 tie with Kansas City. He struck early against the Wizards rising above Jimmy Conrad to power home an off-balance header in the 6th minute. The goal earned Sierra Mist Goal of the Week honors in Week 11. Late in the game, trailing 3-2, Angel calmly tucked away a stoppage time penalty to give the Red Bulls a hard-fought tie.

In only his 1st MLS season, Angel has 9 goals and 2 assists in 8 games. He arrived in New York as a Designated Player following a transfer from English Premier League club Villa where he scored 65 goals in 205 games. Angel won the MLS Player of the Week award in Week 7 and was today named to the MLS All Star First XI.

The MLS Player of the Month is selected following the last game of each month throughout the regular season by a panel of journalists from the Professional Soccer Reporters Association (PSRA). The PSRA votes among players nominated by their respective teams.
