POST-MATCH INTERVIEW: ‘The effort put in by the squad is tremendous’ - Zetterstrom

Goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom lauded Derby County's 'tremendous' effort and fight as they claimed a 2-0 home win over Preston North End on Wednesday night.

Goals from Craig Forsyth and Jerry Yates at the start of the second half at Pride Park Stadium secured three points for the fourth game in a row in the Sky Bet Championship for John Eustace's side.

RamsTV caught up with Zetterström to discuss another crucial three points in the Championship.

On the 2-0 win over Preston…

It was an amazing night. We've worked so hard for these past few weeks, and you can see the result of that. It was a great night, but it's been a few great weeks as well.

On a fast start to the second half…

We had to just stick to the plan. We all know how good we are, and if we just go out there and do what we've done all week, we were certain that we were going to score a goal and keep a clean sheet. Not much was said in there, but just stick to the plan, stay calm and do what we do.

On making sure to carry on the momentum built before the international break…

We have been taking these two weeks as a chance to keep working on the bits that you may not be able to in a very tight schedule. It was heavy training during these past few weeks in getting ready for the upcoming games.

On the effort throughout the team…

The amount of effort the leads put in is just tremendous. The amount of sacrifices they make just to make sure that the ball does not come down to me is outstanding. I love having them, whoever they are, in front of me. They make it fairly easy for me.

On the connection with the fans...

They turn up in such a huge number, every single time - no matter what and no matter when. It's amazing to play in front of. It's not only here, but the whole community, just meeting people in the supermarket and whatnot. These sorts of things make your day, and all of this combined just makes it wonderful to play here.
