Owaln with the goalkeeper, Ashley defenseman and George the middle, Jonathan Williams is the fourth in the Welsh workforce now to the Euro. Apart from this anecdote rich in homonyms, the case of Jonathan Williams is crucial for Wales, time to face Portugal in the last four. This pocket profile (1.67 m, 63 kg) will replace Aaron Ramsey, brilliant from the start of the Euro with four assists to his account, but suspended for the half.


With his bald head and his childish face, Jonathan Williams does not go unnoticed in this European Championship. 


 Player duty, he is a member of the Welsh team since 2013, after all the young classes, the U17 Espoirs. The native of Tunbridge Wells, in the county of Kent, played one meeting as holder in this Euro.

 It was against Slovakia for the first meeting of the Dragons. Placed behind midfielder Gareth Bale, he hinted nice technical qualities before leaving his place to Joe Ledley to beef up the midfield.

Very comfortable with teammates Marek Hamsik, performance challenged the Crystal Palace fans. Jonathan Williams has indeed been formed at the Eagles, but never really got his chance in the Premier League. 


 Yet he was one of the executives of the London team in 2013, during the ascent to first division (33 games played). He was returning especially late in the game to hold the ball to keep the score, in the image of his very convincing thirty minutes against Northern Ireland.

 Palace fans now want to see this little profile at work in the elite, claiming its presence in Alan Pardew.
