Chelsea goalkeeper Bergstrom delighted with Peterborough form: Thanks to Tyler

Chelsea goalkeeper Lucas Bergstrom is delighted over his loan with Peterborough United.

The 6ft 8in shot-stopper has been in fine form for The Posh, making the goalkeeping spot his own as his side currently sit fourth in League One, seven points off the automatic promotion spots.

Bergstrom told chelseafc.com: “I’m good and doing well. It obviously helps that I’m playing games every week and that is the best way to settle into a new club. There is not that much training but that’s how it is in this league.

“There’s a lot of focus on recovery because before you know it you need to play another match so you have to be prepared.

“Form goes up and down throughout your career but I have been working so hard and right now the things I am doing are working for me and it is helping me to do well on the pitch. I think me focusing on perfecting the basics is helping me to do well.

“I’m also spending a lot of time being prepared mentally as I think that is what gives you longevity – being able to perform even when there is pressure.”

Asked about the step up from the academy, he also said: “I think as a whole the Football League is much more direct and it is very physical so you have to be physically ready for challenges.

“I also think that the increase in the number of people that come to games was something that didn’t surprise me but it struck out to me as it makes it even harder to communicate. With so much noise going on in the background, you have to be smart about your communication and be very precise with what you say too.

“This is a challenge that I have loved. I do have to say a massive thank you to Mark Tyler [goalkeeping coach at Peterborough] as he has given me some great tips to help me with my game.”
