Iñaki Williams: Super Cup Criticism & Saudi Arabia League Views

Athletic will play the first semi-final of the Super Cup in Jeddah against Barcelona and, if they win, they will play the final against the winner of Real-Atlético

Iñaki Williamscaptain of the Athletic Clubcommented about the Spanish Super Cup in which the red and white team will participate next week that, in his opinion, “playing in Arabia is shit…”.

“I have already said it many times and I do not bite my tongue on these issues. For me playing in Arabia is shit…, speaking badly,” the Athletic striker emphatically stressed in a press conference he offered after the training session held in San Mamés with more than 30,000 fans in the stands.

The red and white team will play the first semi-final of the Super Cup on Wednesday, January 7 in Jeddah against FC Barcelona and, if the Barça team wins, they will play the final on Sunday the 11th against the winner of the Real Madrid-Atlético de Madrid scheduled for Thursday the 8th.

“Taking a national competition to another country is not easy for fans. We there, due to social mass, seem to play away from home and, if it were here, we know all the ‘athleticzales’ who would accompany us,” added the eldest Williams.

Iñaki, who expects the birth of his first child “in the next few days,” added that in his personal case “having to leave, leaving my wife and my son here is a chore.” “But hey, they are part of the job. I am at the club’s disposal and I will try to do my best in the Super Cup,” he added.
