Edin Terzic believes Ghana international Inaki Williams will play a key role for Athletic Club this season, with the forward capable of making an important contribution in a number of positions.
The Athletic Club manager praised his side’s performance in their most recent match, saying the players delivered an excellent display and carried out their plan effectively. Terzic said the quality of the performance showed the team’s increasing confidence and its preparation for the demands ahead.
He also singled out Williams’ versatility as a major strength. The Ghana forward can contribute in several attacking roles, giving Athletic Club greater flexibility as Terzic considers how best to use him during the campaign.
According to the manager, Williams combines pace, experience and a strong work ethic with the ability to adapt to different responsibilities. Those qualities, Terzic believes, make the forward a valuable part of the squad and allow him to influence matches in more than one way.
Terzic’s assessment suggests Williams will not be limited to a single attacking position. His capacity to operate in different roles is expected to provide the team with additional tactical options, depending on the demands of each game and the approach Athletic Club needs to take.
The manager’s confidence comes after a match in which Athletic Club followed its instructions well and produced what he considered an excellent team performance. Terzic viewed that display as evidence of the players’ growing belief and their readiness for the challenges still to come.
Williams’ versatility is therefore expected to be particularly significant over the course of the season. Athletic Club will compete in domestic and European competitions, and Terzic believes the Ghana international’s range of qualities can help the side cope with those demands.
The forward’s pace offers Athletic Club an attacking threat, while his experience and work rate add further value to his contribution. His willingness and ability to adapt mean he can support the team in different areas of the attack, rather than being used only in one fixed role.
Terzic expects those attributes to translate into a prominent role for Williams throughout the campaign. The Athletic Club coach has made clear that he sees the Black Stars forward as an important player, both because of what he can provide individually and because of the tactical choices his flexibility gives the team.
With Athletic Club preparing for a season that includes domestic and European competition, Terzic is confident Inaki Williams can make a significant impact. His manager’s backing underlines the importance of the Ghana international to the club’s plans and points to a campaign in which he is expected to contribute in several attacking positions.
