There is a magical striker in La Liga who has broken down the 116-year-old barrier of employment in the team's history. For six years from 2016 to the present, he has been full-time and set a new la Liga record.
Nearly 1.9 meters tall, he is the second fastest player in football today, and his strength is good enough to drag Pique forward. His name has been associated with Barca, Real Madrid, as well as Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool.
Helplessly, Schrödinger's shot made people sad, and no one could defend it, and when it was not smooth, he defended himself.
01. Breaking Bilbao's century-old tradition of employment & 6 years of non-stop la Liga record
Inaki-Williams was born in Bilbao on June 15, 1994. His parents, both from Liberia, met and fell in love in a refugee camp in Ghana. In the early 90s, the couple got the opportunity to move to Europe and settled in Bilbao.
Inaki also has a younger brother, Nicholas, who is 8 years younger than him, and both brothers grew up in the Bilbao youth system (and are now the main starters in Bilbao).
On 6 December 2014, his older brother Inaki Williams became the first black first-team player in the 116-year history of the Basque veteran team. Two months later, Inaki Williams scored in La Liga and wrote a new history.
The team, nicknamed the "Lions of Basque Country", has a very firm Basque pedigree policy, requiring every player who plays for the team to come from the Basque Country.
In the Amazon documentary Six Dreams, in which Iñaki became one of the protagonists, the striker said affectionately: "Thank you very much, I got this opportunity, someone once said he was not a Basque and could not participate in Athletic Bilbao. But I was born here, I am also Basque and willing to fight with Basques, trying every day to get the ball into the door of the opponent. ”
Since 2016, Inaki Williams has played every La Liga game for the Basque Lions, and back in 2020, he equaled the la Liga record of 203 consecutive Laliga games held by former Real Sociedad defender Lalanga, and now he continues his new record, making all 21 La Liga appearances this season.
02. The physical condition is amazingly talented: there is speed and strength, and Piquera can't hold it
Williams, 27, is 186 centimeters tall but has a very impressive speed, and can play a number of roles as forward and right winger.
In the Copa del Rey Quarter-Finals in early 2020, Williams scored in 89 minutes to knock Barca out. But before that, he accelerated past Pique on the counter-attack, and then dragged the Barca centre-back all the way forward with the other side pulling on his pants.
Looking at this season's La Liga, Williams once again used his strong confrontation ability to bounce Camawingga directly through his strong confrontation ability. Unfortunately, his shooting choices were always poor, and long-range shots on the wall did not pose a threat.
From the list of the world's fastest players published by the French newspaper Le Figaro, Williams is second among all players after Mbappe.
Williams, in terms of skill, really can do anything. Can carry the ball, can control the ball, can pull the side of the cross, can shoot at the foot, and can also head the ball to break the goal. Barca once fell to the threshold of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals because of his header.
Overall, Ignacie Williams is not good at grabbing points in front of goal, which is why he has only scored 13 goals in La Liga so far in his career.
In this attack, Inaki Williams' speed advantage is obvious, and the opponent cannot restrain him. But when his brother Nicholas Williams sent the cross, Ignacie failed to capture the landing point.
03. Schrödinger's shot: making the giants unwilling to "redeem" him
Williams, the player, his biggest problem is that the shots are too unstable. Maybe the first foot is the world wave, and the last foot is the iron guard level to break the siege. Real Madrid, Barca, Manchester United and Liverpool were all very interested in him, but in the end they all chose to give up. Now that he has renewed his contract with Bilbao, the penalty fee has reached 130 million euros, and it is feared that he will eventually die as a basque lion.
When the shot felt good, Williams really couldn't stop anyone, and it was really the god who blocked the god's front. The double mark against Betis this season is the best example.
This time he received Sanchet's straight ball and then sped into the penalty area, sending the ball to the bottom of the opposition's net with an incredible small angle. Such shots are not the first time he has done them, but they may be 2 or 3 feet per season.
Last season's "stroke of genius" gave share to Barca, and in the Final of the Western Super League, it was Williams' goal in extra time that made Barca lose 2-3 and lose the championship trophy.
In the final of the Western Super League last season, Williams not only scored, but also had a beautiful assist de Marcos scored. The striker's pass quality is not low, whether it is in front of the penalty area to pick up the ball, or pull away from the side of the cross, can send a wonderful pass.
A year ago, Williams was the key man in the team's victory over Barca to win the title. I don't know if Williams will play another kick against Real Madrid in the final of the Western Super League this season.
But the fundamental problem is that williams' shot was too Schrödinger's shot. It was also the opportunity to explode in the counterattack, and this foot flew into the sky. In fact, such a shot is Williams' daily operation.
So far this season, he has scored five goals on goal in 48 Shots in La Liga, the best efficiency in the last 3 years.
Conclusion:
As a striker, shooting is the most critical element, just as as as a defender, defense is the foundation. Williams has good tactical value, can break forward and play deep space, but the inefficiency of scoring has become a barrier to his selection for the Spanish national team and transfer to the giants. Unfortunately, his archery has not improved over the years, and he can only wait for 2 or 3 times a year in the days to come.
