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.

Having played well over 1,000 minutes this season, the man from Finland has settled in quickly at Peterborough in his first professional loan move but he is not content with remaining comfortable. He is focused on maintaining his good form and ensuring he continues to develop during his time in the east of England.

Firstly Lucas, how are you doing and how have you settled into life at Peterborough?

'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.’

What would you say is the reason for your good form right now?

'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.'

Do you feel added pressure being a goalkeeper in League One?

'It's difficult to be a keeper sometimes because as a player you might have a bad touch or a misplaced pass but you have the rest of the game to get more touches and to try and get into the game.

'As goalkeepers, we have to be ready at all moments in the game. That's not to say other positions on the pitch are not as important or as difficult but there is an extra pressure as a keeper because your mistakes are clear for people to see.

'There can be no misinterpretation, so that is why being mentally prepared, as well as developing my ability, are just as important as each other.'

What have you found to be the biggest differences between Academy football and League One?

'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.'

What has been the advice from Andy Myers, now loan technical coach?

'He was my coach last year and a lot of the advice that he gave me then was to prepare me for this moment. I can definitely see some of the things he spoke to me about. He would always say ensure that you have rounded out your basics as that is what will help you improve the whole part of your game.'

How would you say that you receive praise and do you see the praise you get on social media?

'I have obviously seen some of the praise but I am not on Twitter. I try not to focus on this because it's very easy to go on the pitch when the fans like you and respect your ability but social media can go both ways.

'If you start playing bad it can turn on you so I do my best to not focus on that but rather focus on continuing to perform. As long as the team are doing well and they are happy with me, as well as my team-mates, then I am good.'

Rank these three from a goalkeeper’s perspective: Saving a penalty, point-blank save or a direct assist?

'This is a tough one but I love this question. I would say that a point-blank save would be the best and then between the other two, despite a goalkeeper getting an assist becoming more common with today’s way of playing, for me it will always be about the saves so I would put that next and then an assist last.'

Finally, what are your aspirations in football beyond this season?

'I don't shy away from the fact that I want to play at the highest level, however I appreciate the moment and I take each game as it comes. Right now, I am at Peterborough and I want to do my best for them and help in the promotion push.

'The manager here [Grant McCann] has been very helpful with his advice and I am learning every day. My goals and aspirations will always be there but I am focused on the next game.'

Bergstrom and Peterborough are the next opponents for Chelsea Under-21s in the Papa Johns Trophy round of 32 this week. The game takes place at the Weston Homes Stadium tomorrow (Tuesday 22 November), kick-off 7.30pm, and tickets are still available.
