Laryea Kingston, a former Ghana star was happy with the runs of Ghana’s new striker Inaki Williams in Ghana’s game against Nicaragua last Tuesday evening.
The newly Black Stars striker made a lot of great runs on and off the ball which caught the attention of many Ghanaian football fans and enthusiasts.
Former Ghana captain and all time top scorer Asamoah Gyan was worried about the midfielders not picking up the striker whenever he made brilliant runs to open up the defense of the opposition.
But former Ghana star and now a coach, Laryea Kingston was not bothered by that and lauded the player’s ability to attack open spaces which he believes created a lot openings for the midfielders.
According to Laryea Kingston, Inaki has a lot of experience and is confident he will lead the Black Stars attack at the World Cup.
“For me what Inaki [Williams] did in the game was very positive.
“I know most of the players that he played with, they are not used to him.
“He made a lot of positive runs, very good runs that created a lot of spaces for Kudus Mohammed, Fatawu Issahaku and Osman Bukari around the box.
“Sometimes you encourage strikers to make runs to deceive the opponents, just to stretch the opponents across the pitch.
“So it’s not necessary that if you make a run, you will get the ball.
“I’m sure Inaki Williams where he has played football up to, he understands all these dynamics in the game.
“I see him as someone that is going to lead our striking position in the tournament because of the experience and all I have seen about him as a technical person.
“Inaki Williams did not get enough balls but he did the right thing against Nicaragua.” Laryea Kingston told Radio Gold Talk Sport.
