"It was a good start. 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. 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 made his debut for the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, providing an assist just 18 minutes into his appearance in a 2-0 home victory over Atlanta United. The 29-year-old German international had only recently arrived in the Bay Area after playing minimal minutes at RB Leipzig. Werner missed the team's season opener due to visa delays and the birth of his first child. Despite limited preparation time and travel fatigue, he delivered a strong performance off the bench, entering in the 61st minute. The Earthquakes improved to 2-0-0 with their second consecutive shutout, marking their best start since 2013.
