JORDI Gomez admits friendships will go out of the window for 90 minutes tomorrow when Latics travel to South Wales to take on top-flight new-boys Swansea.
Latics will make history by taking part in the first Premier League match to be played outside England at the Liberty Stadium.
It’ll be a new experience for all the Latics players apart from Gomez, who spent a hugely-successful year on loan with the Swans before following Roberto Martinez to Wigan two summers ago.
And the 26-year-old can’t wait to return to his former stomping ground – albeit this time in enemy colours.
Much of the groundwork for Swansea’s promotion last term occured during Roberto Martinez’s spell in change, and Gomez is delighted to have played a small part along the way.
While Martinez could well get a mixed reaction from the fans who once idolised him, Gomez should be okay having returned to parent club Espanyol before signing for Wigan.
