Derby County newcomer Jacob Widell Zetterstrom admits the Championship is a physically tough and fast-paced competition, but he believes he is up to the challenge.
The 26-year-old shot-stopper signed a three-year contract with the Championship side this summer after leaving Swedish club Djurgarden.
Zatterstrom has already played three matches for Paul Warne’s side, keeping two clean sheets.
The shot-stopper said that the conditions in England are vastly different from what he is used to, and that the league is also quite physically demanding.
Despite his lack of experience in the English game, Zatterstrom expressed confidence in his ability to compete in the Championship.
“It is a league that moves quickly and where things click, but I am ready to face it”, the 26-year-old shot-stopper told Swedish daily Expressen about adjusting to the Championship.
“It is more physical, it is different from what you are used to.
“But there are differences in football that make you develop as a player and a person.
The Rams shot-stopper will be looking to secure another clean sheet when Derby face Cardiff City after the international break.
