Black Stars' No.10s hurting Inaki Williams' ability to score - Ignatius Osei Fosu

Published on: 31 March 2023

Former Dreams FC coach Ignatius Osei Fosu has offered his insight into Inaki Williams' struggles to score for the Black Stars, attributing it to the high-scoring nature of all the team's number 10s.

Fosu compared the situation to the time of Ghanaian legend Asamoah Gyan, who thrived in the team because players such as Kwadwo Asamoah were more interested in feeding him the ball to score, rather than looking for personal glory.

"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.

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

Fosu believes that the solution to unlock Williams' potential with the Black Stars is to have a number 10 who prioritizes creating opportunities for the striker, instead of focusing on scoring goals.
