Wondolowski: Can do more than score

San Jose Earthquakes coach Frank Yallop has been impressed with the all-round improvement of prolific goalscorer Chris Wondolowski's game.

Wondolowski finished last season having tied the Major League Soccer's all-time single-season scoring record with 27 goals.

But it was the 30-year-old's seven assists for the Quakes last term which had his coach singing his praises ahead of the 2013 campaign.

"Chris is really starting to turn into not just a goalscorer, but into a playmaking player on our team," Yallop told the MLS's official website. "I don't think he gets the credit he's due."

He added: "Is he going to dribble past guys and slide guys in? No. But is he going to pass the ball at right times to guys, like he did last year? I thought he did a nice job with that... I think his football's come on, his actual playing."

'Wondo', as he is affectionately known, is happy to contribute in whatever form for the Goonies, adding: "I feel I can add a dynamic where I might have more attention than some others, and if I have that, I can lay off the ball.

"I can make a pass to the open guy. That's no problem."
