BILBAO, 1 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish-Ghanaian footballer Iñaki Williams, Athletic Club forward, predicted “a very screwed up match” against RCD Mallorca in the final of the Copa del Rey, an event for which the ‘lions’ qualified this Thursday thanks to their victory by 3-0 against Atlético de Madrid in the return match played at San Mamés.
“We are very happy, very proud and our people deserve it. We have spent two finals without an audience in a pandemic and without being able to enjoy, in fact, a Super Cup without being able to celebrate it as it deserved. And now we are going with humility, as low as we come saying, with a low profile. We know it’s going to be a very screwed game because Mallorca has eliminated Girona and Real Sociedad, and they are there on their own merits,” said Williams in the mixed zone of the Bilbao stadium.
“We always try to do it in the best possible way. Today we were lucky that things went well, to win and to have a good time,” he said before joking about his family situation. “Off the field we are better than on the field, but the truth is that we are doing things very well. They sent me an audio, I called them, I didn’t have much coverage and we talked,” she described.
“I am super excited. To my father and mother, the truth is that all we can give back to them is little for everything they have done for us, and tonight is for them. Thanks to them we are where we are, to have the opportunity to do people are very happy and the truth is that we are fulfilling a dream,” confessed the Athletic Club striker.
“My brother gave it to me on a plate and then I had to leave it to him too. I told him: ‘You take it, I don’t want to put it in.’ And everything came out of the cinema, better than in our dreams. We are very happy, the locker room is huge. The people… today there was a record in San Marmés and it is incredible how the people have carried us along,” he added.
He also remembered the ‘semi’ cup loss last year against CA Osasuna. “It was something that we had saved from memory, we knew that we would have a very bad time. In fact, before the game, I told my brother that in football there are always revenge. And today you have another opportunity to remove that little thorn that “It was recorded in you. Today you are going to break it and that’s how it happened,” he revealed about his words to Nico.
“The team played a great game, at the beginning we practically left them with no options. The people deserved it and now we are going to enjoy a magnificent night. And tomorrow we will prepare for the game against Barça,” concluded Iñaki, alluding to the next league match.
