Iñaki Williams enjoying a sweet moment at Athletic

Williams says he's rediscovering his best form under Terzic, playing as a striker while Guruzeta and Maroan recover from injuries.

Iñaki Williams has regained his best level at Athletic Bilbao and credits manager Edin Terzic and the team's tactical system for his resurgence. "I'm rediscovering myself," Williams said. "The manager is fundamental to me finding my form again. The system of play helps, and it's useful to have very technical players around me.

I'm happy, trying to help the team with humility and work as captain so we can get back into Europe."

The Bilbao native is currently playing as a striker under Terzic, a role he took on before injuries to Guruzeta and Maroan, and which he continues due to their absences. Guruzeta is sidelined with a serious injury while Maroan will be out for several weeks.

Williams acknowledged the circumstances forcing him into the number 9 role but expressed his commitment to performing at his best whether playing centrally or on the wing.
