Swansea City boss Bob Bradley emerged as being cocked and locked on Thursday despite being most loved with British bookmakers to be the following Premier League manager to lose his occupation.
Swansea host kindred strugglers Sunderland on Saturday when Bradley will be seek just a second win since assuming responsibility of the Welsh club in October. Thrashing would heap the pressure on the American. On talking with a news conference, Bradley said, “I am going to keep fighting. That’s how I work. If I am telling the players they have to look adversity in the eye and have some courage, then I have got to do that too. Results are hard to come by when you take over a team who have been struggling, and results when you do that in the Premier League are even harder to come by. But that’s what I signed up for when I took the job. I knew when I came in this was going to be a big test and it still is, but that’s no problem.”
He further said, “We have to turn it around. We have to step on the field to play against a team who are around us in the table and look to win. When you go into a big game like this — in a way a cup final for us — you have got to make sure you have a group of guys who will be ready for that kind of challenge. For sure this feels like the biggest game since I came in.”
Midfielder Ki Sung-yueng is back in preparing yet won’t confront his previous club because of a toe harm, while guard Federico Fernandez, who has a broken toe, will miss the game. He recoiled from being seen as a “pioneer” as the first American to be given a Premier League manager’s occupation, yet this was the uncovering of a man who had been calmly sparring for quite a long time, sitting tight for the opportunity to persuade cynics regarding his heavyweight family.
