Nico Williams: “My parents couldn't always pay the rent”
In an interview with EL MUNDO in Prague, the Spain winger talks about housing, racism and his mother's veto over his decisions.
Nico Williams, winger for Athletic Club and Spain's national team, has spoken with EL MUNDO in Prague, where the national side is busy with the UEFA Nations League. On housing he is direct: the problem hits close to home, because his parents sometimes could not pay the rent, and he believes it has to be fixed.
On a personal note, he says he is now 24 and that his mother has become more relaxed, although she still holds veto rights over many things. He admits she still asks where he is going every time he makes a decision.
Born in Pamplona, Williams also looked back at the interview he gave this newspaper at Euro 2024, when he became known to a wider audience.
