"It's not like he just kind of accidentally became this guy who scored goals," Waibel said.
Wondolowski is the primary target any time a fellow MLS club faces the San Jose Earthquakes. RSL faces that familiar target this weekend.
Despite being the focal point of every opposition's game-plan, he's still managed to score. His 10 goals in 2016 ensured that for the last seven-consecutive seasons, Wondolowski has reached a double-digit scoring output.
And he has eight career goals against RSL. His latest, in a 1-1 draw at Rio Tinto Stadium in July, made him the leader among active players for goals against RSL.
