According to him opponents fear the 28-year-old striker and always hope he doesn't start against them.

"He is a player that fans want to be much more effective. But the one who has to ask the importance of Iñaki Williams is the coach of the opposing team. They will tell you 'please don't play' not only because I can score a goal, but for everything that generates around. And opponents fear him,"
