Sweden boss Janne Andersson says that his team deserve their success at the World Cup finals because of the work they have put in.

Sweden boss Janne Andersson has insisted that his side deserve to be in the quarter-finals of the World Cup after defeating Switzerland 1-0 in the last 16.

The 55-year-old said that his team's success in Russia is down to hard work on and off the pitch.

"It was a surreal feeling to stand at the side of the pitch hearing the fans calling out my name, but football is a team sport and this team, for me, personifies that," he told reporters during his post-match press conference.

"We all work so hard for each other on and off the pitch. We know that we are a good team and that we have earned our successes.

"We're all very happy about the successes we have seen so far. But we need to digest this quickly as we have another game coming up soon, on Saturday.

"It's all about the process right now and it's full steam ahead for us. We're not satisfied with what we've done - we want to win the next match too."

Sweden will take on either England or Colombia in the quarters.
