Coach Ignatius Osei-Fosu blames Inaki Williams’ Black Stars struggles on Kudus Mohammed

Ignatius Osei-Fosu, former coach of Dreams FC, has provided his perspective on the struggles of Inaki Williams in scoring for the Black Stars.

He attributes this to the high-scoring nature of all the team’s number 10s, likening it to the time of Ghanaian legend Asamoah Gyan, who was successful in the team because players like Kwadwo Asamoah were more concerned with providing him with the ball to score, rather than seeking personal glory.

Fosu suggests that the issue with Williams is that the current number 10, Kudus Mohammed, loves to score goals, and proposes that Williams should be playing with a number 10 who prioritizes creating opportunities for the striker rather than scoring goals.

“The problem is that our number 10 [Kudus Mohammed] loves to score goals. Inaki should be playing with a number 10 who doesn’t have a passion for scoring goals,” Fosu said in an interview as quoted by sportsworldghana.

While acknowledging that Kwadwo Asamoah was not averse to scoring goals, Fosu highlights that his initial thought when he had the ball was not to score.

“Kwadwo Asamoah wasn’t adverse to scoring goals, but his initial thought when he had the ball was not to score.”

To unlock Williams’ potential with the Black Stars, Fosu recommends having a number 10 who is more focused on providing opportunities for the striker.
