With his skill, Valverde’s confidence and Luis Enrique’s courage, Nico reached the Spanish team, which closed the door on his brother Iñaki. No one knew that the oldest of the legend was waiting as long as possible for the call from Red. After debuting in 2016, their international tour came to a halt. Despite being attached to Athletic, let’s not forget that he has accumulated almost 240 consecutive games in the League, the coaches chose another profile of the player.
The state team usually dominates the games and needs another type of battering ram. They are not used to leaving space for their rivals and that is exactly their strength.
Iñaki sees himself as 28 years old and knows that his last World Cup train is to board the train to Ghana. He hesitated, but in the end he realized that he would not miss this opportunity. If he had a choice, he would have chosen the shirt he defended against Vicente del Bosque and many more opportunities with the under-21s. The crossroads never came.
He caught the bird in his hand and earned a date at the World Cup, the most a player could wish for. Moreover, with his decision he makes his grandfather happy. Hunky-dory.

His younger brother had a meteoric career. In just 26 games in the subsidiary, he made the jump to the first team alongside Marcelino. This was on April 28, 2021, when he was just 18 years old. Draw in two against Valladolid at home. Since then, the dynamics of the first team, it is almost always one of the changes of the coach, sprinkled with some ownership, and from the second day of the match is unquestionably fixed.
His ability in one on one and his last two performances with two ‘cods’ opened the door to the Spanish team. For many, it was coming soon, but they said the same about Pedri and Gavi. That they remove ‘bailao’.
One of the attractions of this World Cup for athletes is to see what would happen if Spain and Ghana crossed paths and both were called, logically. Williams against Williams. I can’t imagine how his mother could survive that duel. Knowing the passion with which he lives in each crash, if necessary, he could lose several years of life in those 90 minutes. Poor ‘amatxus’!
The Williams case is not new to soccer or to elite sports in general. Without squeezing our heads too hard we can get other examples of this. Thiago and Rafinha Alcantara One in Spain and the other in Brazil. Jerome and Kevin Prince Boateng. The center-back chose to wear the colors of Germany and won the World Cup in 2014, while the talented and conflictive midfielder remained in Ghana, which also participated in the World Cup. These are just a few examples.
