SAN JOSE — The best homegrown soccer player in Bay Area history is trying to reconcile getting benched last weekend.
Chris Wondolowski, 35, isn’t sure what to think other than continue to show a professional decorum that has made him one of the Earthquakes most popular players.
After converting goal after goal after goal in a shooting drill Tuesday, the team’s captain packed up the balls instead of leaving the task to team staff.
He remains the humble hard worker even while closing in on Landon Donovan’s all-time Major League Soccer scoring record of 145 goals.
