During the close-season sessions, Luke Williams praised his Swansea City squad for their dedication and commitment to being “24-hour football players.” Although pre-season preparations officially begin on July 1st, most players have already returned to the Fairwood training base for summer check-ins. The head coach emphasized the importance of restarting the players’ engines and refocusing their minds before the start of pre-season training.
Although some players were absent due to international duties or a break in Brazil, Williams commended the overall commitment and dedication of the squad. Individual training programs were provided to ensure that all players maintained their fitness and athleticism during the summer break.
Williams expressed surprise at how well the players had taken care of themselves during the offseason, highlighting their professionalism and dedication to their craft. The head coach emphasized the shift from a time when footballers were seen as “slash rock stars” to now being considered as fully committed athletes. The positive attitude and work ethic displayed by the Swansea City squad have set a strong foundation for the upcoming season.
