The new Swans manager has laid down the law at the Liberty Stadium to his inherited squad, following the dismissal of Francesco Guidolin.
Swansea City manager Bob Bradley has told his players that they will have to learn with him being loud on the training pitch as he runs the rule over his new squad, according to Wales Online.
Bradley also stated that he will not hold back with his players and that Neil Taylor and Jefferson Montero – two players who did not play many minutes under Francesco Guidolin this summer – along with other fringe figures will get a chance to prove themselves ahead of the Arsenal encounter on Saturday and beyond,
The former USA national manager is quoted by Wales Online saying: “At the beginning you don’t start with an iron fist, but there’s been some moments I get a bit louder and harder, but they’ll live with that.
“I figure out in the moment how to make points. When you have done this for a while, you tell your messages accordingly, you figure out the best way to connect with the guy. You try different thing.
“Every friend I have will tell you I can say to them things they don’t want to hear… I won’t be the kind of friend to tell them everything they want to hear.
“Whenever there’s a change it’s a fresh start for everybody. You can see that on certain faces, that’s clear. In the moment, you look at these guys every day even at a time when there’s been a difficult period, you still look at the group and see enthusiasm, fresh faces, a certain amount of excitement and that’s a good things.”
Bradley will face a tough start to life as Swansea manager with the Swans having to face Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton within their next five fixtures, along with Watford and a visit to Stoke City.
The Welsh club are currently third from bottom in the Premier League after winning only four points from their opening seven matches.
American Bradley, 58, was appointed earlier this month after a year with French outfit Le Havre in Ligue 2, finishing fourth.
