Michu – I Liked Their Style

Michu has said that one of the reasons he joined the Swans was an admiration of their style that he saw last season

Michu said on completing his move to the Liberty “I had other offers, but I really wanted to come to Swansea because of the coach, the style of play and the Premier League

“I’ve always followed the Premier League from Spain and I watched a lot of Swansea games last season. They played good football and I liked their style. I also know how Michael Laudrup’s teams play, so I’m looking forward to being part of that. The coach (Laudrup) was fundamental to me joining Swansea. I remember watching him as a player — he was a machine.

Michu has revealed how Swansea’s Spanish defender Angel Rangel played a part in his move to Wales.

“We have a mutual friend,” the new man explained, “so we started texting recently.

“He told me he was very happy here and it was a great club.

“I’ve had a look at the stadium already and it is spectacular.

“Angel told me it was always full for every game and the fans are very passionate, so I’m really excited about the challenge ahead.”
