Juan Agudelo is not in the New York Red Bulls best eleven at the moment and is struggling to even make an impression as a substitute.
The 18-year old has played more minutes in the last two matches for the USA national team than he has in the past four Red Bulls outings with head coach Hans Backe indicating he is not in his best line-up.
Agudelo has not graced the pitch in New York's two play-off matches to date and the reason from Backe is fairly clear.
"I always pick the best team. I play the best players. That's the reason," he said.
