The former Leicester City stopper is set to take the lead for Celtic. As Kasper Schmeichel prepares to take the top spot for Celtics, his predecessor has already offered some guidance.
The former Leicester City goalkeeper appears to be Brendan Rodgers’ first choice in his search for a replacement goalkeeper after Joe Hart announced his retirement. The two collaborated at the Foxes, and now that he’s had time at Anderlecht, the top Danish player is ready for the Hoops.
Hart gave plenty of kind words to the potential Celtic number one in his BBC Euro 2024 column.
It also gives plenty of indications as to what the Premiership winners will likely receive. “Kasper and I go way back,” he wrote, “all the way to when we faced each other in February 2006, when he was on loan at Bury from Manchester City and I was playing for Shrewsbury.”
It is very interesting to see how things have changed for both of us over the course of our careers, considering that back then we were just two teens playing our first few professional games in League Two.
He and I are both 37 years old. I adore that he is still performing on the biggest platform even though he is actually five months older.
It’s possible that he has faded from view in England since he departed Leicester in 2022; personally, I’ve discovered that the English tend to believe that if you’re not in the Premier League, you’re out of mind.
“His strength and physique are his main assets as a goalie. At a young age, he developed into an amazing athlete, and he has been that way ever since.
He can accomplish things that many other keepers are unable to, and he is forceful and assertive. In addition to his physical characteristics, I am aware that his mindset has greatly influenced his professional achievements and the means by which they were attained.
Without an intense love for the game, one does not remain at the top for as long as he has. The reason he has constructed his career in this manner is that he has always been driven to achieve more. We have that in common since that same kind of drive also molded my career.
When we were younger goalkeepers, we were different in how we defined our objectives. We would discuss our hopes for the direction that our adventure would take.
Kasper was extremely forward and honest when he stated that his goal was to win the Premier League, but my strategy was to make the daily decision to pursue my goals regardless of where my career took me.
Even after I started winning with City, I kind of continued to live that way throughout my career. I didn’t care whether I went higher or lower because there were no boundaries.
I believed that I could play at the highest level, whether I was representing England in the World Cup finals or Shrewsbury Town in League Two.
