Juan Pablo Angel Arango (born October 24, 1975 in Medellin) is a Colombian football striker, who is currently playing for Red Bull New York of Major League Soccer. His transfer was announced at a press conference on April 17, 2007.
Club career
Atletico Nacional
Angel started playing professional football at Atletico Nacional in his home city of Medellin, Colombia. Angel was sold to River Plate, Argentina. River Plate spectators would often adorn angel wings to show their appreciation.
Aston Villa
Angel became Aston Villa's record signing at £9.5 million on 12 January 2001. In his time at Villa, he was reportedly Villa's highest earner. After an indifferent start to his Aston Villa career, and family difficulties, Angel settled down and started to produce the form that persuaded Doug Ellis to shell out the massive transfer fee. He quickly became a fans favourite and finished as the club's top scorer in the 2003-04 season with 16 goals in the FA Premier Leaguehttp://soccernet.espn.go.com/stats/topscorers?league! ENG.1&year2003&&cc! 5901 JPA ninth highest scorer in EPL, but could not maintain that form as Villa struggled and he only managed seven goals in 2004-05.
His last season for Villa (2006-2007) was a mixed one for Angel. After much initial promise in which Angel scored seven goals, the arrival of John Carew and Ashley Young in the January Transfer window pushed Angel further down the pecking order at Villa Park.
At Aston Villa, Juan Pablo Angel still managed a respectable 66 goals in 205 games. Only one player has scored more for Villa since 1991, that being Dwight Yorke (97 goals in 288 games). The Holte End fondly remember him for his effort and commitment. His recent transfer to the MLS came as a shock to some fans, not least because it isn't clear how much money exchanged hands. Some media outlets claim that it was free, while others claim the MLS never discloses amounts. He remains a favourite with the fans though.
Red Bull New York
On 17 April, 2007, New York Red Bulls announced the signing of Angel as their second designated player, pending the approval of his work visa. After his visa was approved, Angel made his Red Bull debut 8 May 2007 in a U.S. Open Cup qualifying match. Angel came on as a substitute and scored a free kick in extra time during the Red Bulls' 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Angel scored his first MLS goal for New York on May 19, 2007, in a 4-0 win over the Columbus Crew. Angel also recorded an assist and played an important role in a third goal to round off a performance that earned him that week's MLS Player of the Week award. His form showed no signs of letting up in the following game, as he weighed in with two goals and another assist as the Red Bulls overcame Chicago Fire to win 3-0, taking them to joint top of the Eastern Conference.
Angel has been voted MLS Player of the Month for May. He is also the first Red Bull to score in six straight games.
On August 18, 2007, Angel added two more goals to his tally. His team defeated Los Angeles Galaxy 5-4, in a match which David Beckham was playing for his opponents. Angel scored the first goal of the 2007 MLS All-Star Game on July 19 2007 against Celtic F.C., and later was named MVP of the Match for his performance.http://web.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd20070720&content_id! 106956&vkeypr_rbn&fext! .jsp&teamt107 press release via RBNY site. Due to an injury of Claudio Reyna, Angel has been named captain of Red Bull New York. As of September 1st, Angel has scored fourteen goals in just seventeen games, tying him as league-leader (with Luciano Emilio and Eddie Johnson) for the Golden Boot Award.
