Nico Williams turned out to be a fan of Wilfried Zaha.

Williams, born in 2002, has been called Spain's greatest talent. He has spent his youth career with Athletic Clube, and made his professional debut in the last 2020-21 season when he was called up to the first team.

He played in the 2022-23 season. He scored nine goals and four assists in 43 matches during that season, achieving double-digit attack points for the first time since joining the pro league. His performance was even more impressive last season. He had eight goals and 16 assists in all competitions, and also joined the Spanish team at the UEFA Euro 2024 as a starting member. He scored the first goal against England in the final, and was named MVP. He has continued his stellar performance in 34 matches, including six goals and seven assists.

Williams' performance seems to have been attributed to Zaha. French media 'Get Football News' reported on the 9th (Korea time) that "Williams took Zaha as his inspiration." According to the media, Williams recently had an interview with 'France Football' and mentioned three of his favorite players. He said, "Neymar, Ronaldo, I've always liked these players. I haven't revealed it yet, but I really liked Zaha when he was at Crystal Palace."

"I cut my hair the same way to look like Zaha," he said, adding, "I tried to copy Neymar, Ronaldo, Zaha's dribbles, and I tried to move as much as possible like them."

Zaha, whom Williams mentioned, was once regarded as the best dribbler in the Premier League. He spent his youth at Crystal Palace, and headed to Manchester United led by David Moyes during the 2013-14 season. As time passed, however, he became to move around on the bench, and eventually returned to the team a year after his transfer. 바카라

Zaha's heyday began in earnest. He conquered the league with double-digit offensive points every season. In particular, he posted 15 goals and two assists in 37 games in the 2021-22 season, and was even said to be the most threatening winger in the PL without Hazard. After leaving Palace in the 2023-24 season, he played for Galatasaray and Lyon, and is currently playing for Charlotte of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS).
