Nagelsmann, RB Leipzig coach, can already start thinking about a new challenge to propose to Angeliño. The one of the goals for this season, the Galician left back has practically surpassed it in this beginning. For now In the fourteen games he has played this season between the Bundesliga, the Champions League and the German Cup, he has scored six goals. The player himself acknowledged in an interview in AS, that his coach had challenged him to score between seven and ten goals. He only needs one to reach the minimum and four to reach the maximum, taking into account that he has only played about a third of the season, everything indicates that he will achieve it.
Definitely, Angeliño is going through a great moment of form And that shows. So far this season he has played everything except seven minutes in the league match against Schalke 04, when the result was 4-0 in favor of his team. For now is the top scorer of the German team in the Bundesliga, as well as being among the best assistants. The Galician player has been the protagonist in 27 percent of Leipzig's 18 goals (four scored and has given an assist).
In Champions, the percentage increases to 75 percent. Of the four goals scored by the Germans in the top European competition, Angeliño scored two and gave the assistance of another. The fourth was a penalty.
In the same interview with AS, Angeliño recognized, laughing, that when he scored the fifth he told the coach that it was already a good number of goals, that now it was time to give assists, but the German coach was not satisfied and it was then he challenged to score between seven and ten goals. At the moment he has already added another one, in the last league victory against Arminia Bielefeld. The average is approximately one goal every two games, figures that some center forwards would like.
The player himself attributes his good scoring numbers to the system used by the team. Nagelsmann likes to play with the wings very forward, very close to the rival area. In this way, Angeliño explained to Manu Saiz, he plays very close to the rival area and always has an opportunity to score in each game. And seen what is seen, take advantage of them.
