Angelino soars at title-chasing Leipzig after struggling under Guardiola Berlin (AFP) – Angelino has rebooted his career in the Bundesliga under Julian Nagelsmann to become RB Leipzig’s top-scorer, but he says a lack of trust under Pep Guardiola “killed” his confidence at former club Manchester City.
Second-placed Leipzig host Moenchengladbach on Saturday after clawing their way back into the Bundesliga title race to trail current leaders Bayern Munich by just two points.
After striker Timo Werner left Leipzig to join Chelsea in the summer, the 24-year-old Angelino has taken over as the club’s top scorer this season with eight goals and 11 assists from the flanks, either on the wing or at left-back.

Angelino has paid tribute to the enormous push RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsman has given his career and hopes the pair will work together for a long time.
Angelino joined Manchester City in 2013, but made only 15 first-team appearances for the club with fellow Spaniard Pep Guardiola in charge.
Though he impressed at PSV Eindhoven during the 2018/19 campaign - provoking City to activate a buy-back clause in his contract - it was not until he teamed up with Nagelsmann at Leipzig in late January 2020. He gave my career an enormous push, acknowledged Angelino, who has started all but one of Leipzig s Bundesliga games this season. When he speaks to you, he s very direct, very friendly. I have the feeling that we have a good relationship.

Following a four-match winless run, Sevilla made a bright start to halt her disappointing form, although only gain the lead when Claudia Pina set up Carla Armengol to score on the brink of half time.
After the restart, the visitors continued their dominance as Pina bagged her second assist of the contest, teeing up Nigerian-born American Payne to double the lead in the 51st minute.
Eibar, however, fought for a comeback but only found a breakthrough when Kgatlana blasted past goalkeeper Noelia Ramos off a quick one-two with Maria Llompart 10 minutes from regulation time.
