Since joining the Red Bulls as their second Designated Player in April 2007, Juan Pablo Angel has established himself as one of the top forwards in the League, scoring 33 goals in just 47 games. Despite missing seven games in 2008 due to injury, Angel, third all-time in goals scored in club history, led the Red Bulls to their first MLS Cup Final in 2008, scoring two goals in four playoff games. A 2007 MLS Most Valuable Player finalist and two-time MLS All-Star, the former Aston Villa and River Plate marksman has recorded seven multi-goal games since coming to New York. Dangerous with both feet and one of the League's best players in the air, Angel enters 2009 nine goals shy of breaking Giovanni Savarese's club record for regular season goals scored (41).
