Super Eagles striker, Obafemi Martins, has been hailed by Seattle Sounders asa player with multiple talents, after he showed a new side to his game on Sunday. Martins showed an impressive ability to create opportunities for others, as he did in the 2-1 win over Chivas USA, when he had the first two-assist game of his MLS career. Averages The former Newcastle striker now has three assists in his MLS career, which means he’s averaging.89 goals and assists per 90 minutes. - I think he can set people up,Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid said. It’s a part of his game that he’s certainlyable to add as well. A player like that, you want him involved in goals, he told Seattle Times Both assists came in situations that showed a particularly unselfish side to Martins’ game. Position On the first, Martins gathered a ball about 35 yards out. Despite having room to run at his defender, Martins spotted Brad Evans making a run from a deep position. He then put a perfectly weighted ball through three defenders, allowing Evans to run onto it without allowing Dan Kennedy to cut down theangle. - It was a good battle of possession, some good passing and Oba found me slipping through the middle, Evans said. The Nigerian forward did not find the net during the game,but he certainly added to his fan base.
