NYCFC's Jacobson praises ex-USA boss Bradley

New York City FC recruit Andrew Jacobson has heaped praise on Bob Bradley following his loan spell with Stabaek.

The midfielder spent the second half of 2014 under the guidance of the former USA manager in Norway and suggests his time there was fruitful, mainly due to the influence of Bradley.

"I think Bob is a fantastic coach. He really explains what he thinks you can do to improve your game in a very clear way," Jacobson told MLSsoccer.com.

"After that, he is persistent in pushing you to improve on those things every day. I really think I improved my positioning and awareness so much while I was there."

Bradley took over as head coach at Stabaek in January this year and guided them to a ninth-place finish on Norwegian Tippeligaen table in 2014.
