Rangel told the\u00a0Western Mail\u00a0\u201cI wasn\u2019t really expecting to start because the back four have been outstanding,\u201d said Rangel.<\/p>\n
\u201cNeil Taylor has done really well coming from the Conference, he\u2019s settled in quickly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the same with the performances of Alan Tate on the left or the right as well as Monks (Garry Monk) and Ash (Ashley Williams).<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just happy that the gaffer has got faith in me and I\u2019m very grateful for that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had half-an-hour at Watford and I don\u2019t think I was at my best, especially after being out for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, when the gaffer told me the side that would start against Derby, I felt really good.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe gaffer says he respects the experienced players at this level and I\u2019m pleased to hear that.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously I need to play games now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just about one game, I want to be playing week-in week-out until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the break has not come at a good time for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve just played one game and half-an-hour, but I\u2019ll get the batteries charged again and hopefully when we come back we can win games.\u201d<\/p>\n
And Rangel said he is delighted that Swansea are more attack-minded this season under Rodgers than his predecessor Paulo Sousa.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still early in the season, but it\u2019s great to see the team has been scoring goals this season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe play open football and try to create chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe lacked the last pass to score, but Derby are a very experienced team and they were well-organised.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we have started the season well and it\u2019s good to be in the top 10.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got a bigger squad and two players for each position, which is what you need if you\u2019re going to be in the top six.\u201d<\/p>\n
