"Well, I think [Jack] Skahan played the ball over the top to him, so Jack, in a matter of a day or two, figured out Timo's ability to run there. He took off, and he got to step on the defender and shook him loose a little bit with a little bit of a fake, and delivered an excellent ball across the six-yard box."
"So I think that's a guy with a lot of experience and ability, and I think he's just going to continue to get better as we move forward as a team."
Timo Werner, who joined San Jose Earthquakes from RB Leipzig in January, made a strong MLS debut by assisting Ousseni Bouda's goal in the 79th minute during a 2-0 victory over Atlanta United. Entering as a substitute after the hour mark, Werner created one chance for teammates, second only to Ian Harkes' two chances in the match. Manager Bruce Arena praised Werner's experience and ability, noting how teammate Jack Skahan quickly recognized his running capability. Arena expressed confidence that Werner will continue improving as the team develops. Werner is expected to make his first league start for San Jose against Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park this weekend.
