Liverpool’s Craig Bellamy has backed the Swans to retain their Premier League place at the end of the season
Bellamy was speaking on the eve of coming face to face with the Swans for the first time since he scored the winner for Cardiff at the Liberty last season.
Bellamy said “The only doubters would probably be from people outside Wales not knowing what Swansea is about as a football club
“They are out of the way and they don’t get the coverage that other clubs get.
“But anyone who has followed Swansea and followed their progression would know the Premier League would suit them. Probably more than the Championship would because of the way they play, the way they go about their football and the players they have.
“A lot of people are starting to take notice and starting to realise they’re a good football team.
“For me, with the players they have and the way they play, they’ll stay up. I honestly believe that.
“And it will be a better place with them in it.
“I know I’m from Cardiff and would I much prefer to see Cardiff doing it? Of course I would.
“But, at the same time, I’m Welsh and following Swansea and watching how Swansea go about it makes me proud as well.”
