"It was a good start, Werner said, I think the best would've been scoring a goal, but you can't have everything. That's why they wanted to bring me here to create chances, to score goals, to be involved. I'm still only sleeping six hours every night, but it's worth it to play in front of this crowd and to enjoy the football and win it here."
"To get him on the field in 30 minutes tonight was good because to travel here and the demands on him over the last couple of days were huge, coach Bruce Arena said. So to be able to be mentally tough, to deal with all of that and give it a good performance tonight, it's really good to see."
Timo Werner, acquired by the San Jose Earthquakes in late January, made his debut against Atlanta United FC after arriving in the Bay Area from RB Leipzig. Despite playing only 13 minutes over the past year at his previous club, Werner provided an assist just 18 minutes into his appearance, contributing to the Earthquakes' 2-0 victory. The win marked the team's second consecutive shutout, following a 3-0 opening victory over Sporting Kansas City. Werner, a 29-year-old German international signed through June 2028, had missed the team's first match due to visa delays and personal circumstances. Coach Bruce Arena praised Werner's mental toughness in handling the demands of travel and adjustment while delivering a strong performance.
