The Swansea City defender has revealed that\u00a0– along with his girlfriend – he is learning Spanish.\u00a0 And that could earn him rewards this weekend as he looks set to line up along side Angel Rangel, Albert Serran and Fede Bessone in the Swans back four.<\/p>\n
A suspension for Alan Tate and an injury for Garry Monk means that Serran should come into the side at Peterborough on Saturday meaning Williams could use his new skills – although he admits that their English is better than his Spanish.<\/p>\n
\u201cI only started learning to see if the Spanish boys were talking about me or not,\u201d he joked with the Western Mail, before explaining: \u201cIt was actually something my girlfriend and I wanted to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I might as well take advantage of the boys here so I can get help with my homework. It definitely looks like the lessons will help this weekend though.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Albert does start, it will be me and the three Spanish boys so it should be interesting.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have trained all week and we know what we are doing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I play with Fede, I speak Spanish with him all the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has definitely helped me communicate with the Spanish boys. I can hold a few conversations and in the morning we speak in Spanish.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s obviously pretty basic but I can do a bit. I don\u2019t know the set phrases for defending though, so if it\u2019s anything important it will definitely be in English!<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir English is a lot better than my Spanish.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have previously said I need to show more leadership,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have tried hard to do that and I know they look at me a bit differently now.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s definitely something I need to do more when the defence hasn\u2019t really played together before.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlbert will be playing his first game of the season so I need to take more of a leadership role.<\/p>\n
\u201cNormally me, Monks and Tatey will all chip in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will probably be more pressure on me when they aren\u2019t playing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel has played a lot as well, though, and Dorus is an experienced head behind us.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure between us we will work it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
