New Swansea manager Bob Bradley admitted he had to get "louder and harder" in training this week ahead of his Premier League bow.
Bradley, the first American to manage in English football's top flight, has been keen to play down his reputation as a hard taskmaster since swapping life in France's Ligue 2 at Le Havre to become Francesco Guidolin's successor in south Wales.
But Bradley said he has made his voice heard on the training ground as he attempts to pull Swansea away from relegation danger.
"At the beginning you don't start with an iron fist with everything, not even close," Bradley said ahead of his first game at Arsenal on Saturday.
