Asamoah Gyan defends Inaki …says he has been excellent

Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, has hailed forward Inaki Williams for his performances at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Williams has been the subject of some criticism, after failing to score in Ghana’s opening two games.

Gyan, however, has jumped to the defense of the Athletic Bilbao star, and believes his all-round effort cannot be ignored.

“Inaki has been brilliant. He has worked so hard for the team and has shown he’s willing to die for the shirt. He just needs to adjust a few things concerning his movement and will be fine.

“He’s the sort of player every coach would love in his team and I’ve been impressed with him overall,” he said.

Ghana claimed a priceless 3-2 victory over South Korea in their final group game, and must now avoid defeat against Uruguay to stand a chance of qualifying to the knockout stages.
