Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has leaped to the defence of striker Inaki Williams, who endured a frustrating day against Angola. The Athletic Bilbao forward started for the Black Stars on Thursday evening in Chris Hughton's first game, but was hauled off in the 69th minute for Antoine Semenyo, who would go on to get the winning goal in stoppage time.Williams has made six appearances for the national side but is yet to find the back of the net, however Gyan has backed the LaLiga star to come good.
"It's very difficult to adjust to the African game, He has played in Europe all his life," Gyan told Akoma FM, as per Footballghana.com. "We need to give him more opportunities, he is improving even though he hasn't found his feet yet but I'm sure his first goal will open the floodgates and many more will follow.Williams will look to get off the mark on Monday, as the Black Stars can secure qualification to next year's Africa Cup of Nation with a win over Angola.
