Former Ghana midfielder, \u00a0Emmanuel Agyemang Badu, says Inaki Williams will need a bit of time to adapt to the playing style of the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

The Athletic Bilbao striker has played five\u00a0games for the senior national team but has failed to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Inaki, however, failed to score in Ghana\u2019s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers against Angola on Thursday at the Baba Yara Stadium.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Antoine Semenyo scored the only goal of the game at the 96th minute as the West African country maintained their perfect run in the qualifiers.<\/p>\n

The struggle of the 29-year-old in front of goals\u00a0has got a lot of Ghanaians talking about it with some concluding that he is not the right player for the four-time African Champions.<\/p>\n

But Agyemabd Badu has called on Ghanaians to be patient and added that\u00a0Inaki\u2019s style of play is the reason why he has not scored yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis type of play is a question mark to the team but the team will get to know his style soon,\u201d the U-20 World Cup winner told Asempa FM<\/strong> on the Sports Nite Show<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is fast so he likes going behind defenders. Our style of play does not suit him for now. It will take a bit of time. From there he will start scoring,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also pleaded with the members of the current Black Stars squad to observe his style of play and to try to feed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will plead with the players that they need to learn how he plays in order to feed him. He also needs to learn how his colleagues also play,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Inaki Williams will have a chance to score when the team travel to Luanda for the return game of the qualifiers on Monday, March 27.<\/p>\n

The game will be played at the Est\u00e1dio 11 de Novembro with kick-off scheduled at 16:00GMT.<\/p>\n

Inaki, meanwhile, has\u00a0scored five goals and assisted four times in 29 games\u00a0for Athletic Club Bilbao this season<\/p>\n
