Club career

When a coach from Lierse SK signed some other players, Angeli decided, with regret, to leave Anderlecht to play more games.[3] He then played for Brussels, but when they were relegated to D2 and he no longer had the opportunity to play for an elite team, he decided to leave the club. With the option of a number of Belgian, Dutch, and French clubs, he decided to join Standard de Liège due to its proximity to sporting projects.[3] Aged 18, he signed a contract with the club. He played for the U19s at first, quickly rising to the reserves (U21). For the following season (2009–2010), he was named in the first team.[3]

After only 65 seconds of play, with his second touch of the ball, Angeli scored a goal which sealed the victory.[4] He was named as a starter in his first game in the same season, in the game against Mouscron (0–0) on 30 October 2009.[5]
