Iñaki has stayed in Bilbao to make room for Kwaku. “He is my name in Ghana,” the Athletic striker revealed minutes before facing Portugal’s team this Thursday. «I was born on a Wednesday and there are names – actually nicknames – for the day of birth. Here they call me that, Kwaku, not Iñaki ». The Biscayan is debuting in a World Cup and confesses that the atmosphere in the locker room is extraordinary. «I am very excited and excited. This is a continuous party. We spend hours together and the concentrations are long. The best way to spend them is enjoying how we do it: we dance a lot. The music plays all the time. It is a joy and a pleasure to be here », he commented to the Movistar cameras shortly before taking on the Portuguese.
Kwaku, starting this Thursday, hopes to give Ghana a lot of joy, a team he has opted for after having debuted with Spain under the orders of Vicente del Bosque. His brother Nico, however, decided to put on the La Roja shirt, with which he made his debut in the historic win against Costa Rica. «My brother’s joys are my joys. I enjoyed a lot », he commented in reference to the performance of the little Williams. «He had quality minutes. Too bad he couldn’t make something to put the icing on the cake ». It is what he pursues, to respond with successes and thus return the confidence that the country of his parents has shown him.
“With his victory – Nico’s – and hopefully with ours this Thursday we can be happy, and so is our family,” explained Williams, who has integrated well into the African team. He has been seen singing and dancing on more than one occasion with his classmates, but he clarifies that the musical themes are carried by others. “I don’t put on the music, he told me to take it.” Actually, what Iñaki wants is to hear how the stands shout Kwaku in this World Cup. It would mean that the goals accompany him on his Qatari adventure.
