Spanish-born Ghanaian Nico Williams has revealed that he was left speechless following an invitation form Luis Enrique for the Nations League games this week.
The 20-year-old Athletic Club winger, who is eligible to play for Ghana, received his first Spain call-up for the games against Switzerland and Portugal.
Although he was shocked by the invite, his mother and senior brother (Inaki Williams) were proud of the youngster.
“I’m a regular in the U21s, but I didn’t expect the call from Luis Enrique. I started screaming in the living room at home and my mother hugged me and started crying.
Even my brother (Iñaki Williams ) stayed a while, little misplaced, he didn’t expect it either. He’s very happy for me, very proud. He told me that I have to work and keep my feet on the ground,” he told MARCA.
“Luckily, I haven’t experienced it first-hand, but I have seen my brother a bit annoyed in that aspect. I think it’s football stuff and I hope that those people think and reflect on what they do and that this ends.
No one is born racist. It’s a matter of education, both at home and at school,” Nico added.
