In preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Ghana’s national team coach, Chris Hughton, emphasized the team’s commitment to assist forward Inaki Williams in breaking his goal drought. Since joining Ghana’s team last year, Williams has played 11 games without scoring, a contrast to his successful stint with Athletic Bilbao, where he netted five goals in 13 league matches.
Hughton acknowledged the challenge of adjusting to international play, highlighting the importance of finding the right tactics and service for Williams. Comparing his club performance, where he frequently played on the right side despite being a natural number nine, Hughton emphasized the continuous efforts required to establish cohesion and effective attacking strategies within the national team.
The coach stressed their obligation to support Williams, acknowledging his dedication and work ethic, noting that finding the right approach might take time but remains crucial. With Ghana’s upcoming World Cup qualifier against Madagascar, Hughton affirmed Williams would receive another opportunity to shine, emphasizing their determination to provide him with the necessary support and service to thrive on the field.
