Celtic Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel Hailed as ‘Super’ Hero by Danish Media
Celtic’s veteran goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel continues to defy age, delivering outstanding performances for both club and country. The 39-year-old Danish legend impressed in Denmark’s 0-0 draw against Serbia, securing a crucial clean sheet and propelling his nation into the Nations League play-offs.
Schmeichel’s display earned widespread acclaim from the Danish media, with several outlets praising his “super” showing.
Tipsbladet: “Kasper Schmeichel made two huge saves within the first six minutes of the match, and he kept Denmark in the game. The Danish keeper showed good security in the Danish goal, and in the second half he also delivered a great save. He can therefore be very pleased with the performance.”
Berlingske: “National team goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel shone and made several key saves to ensure that a half-tame Danish team got a 0-0 draw on Monday in the group final away to Serbia.”
Bold: “Not even eight minutes had passed before he had saved two great Serbian chances. He was confident in his interventions, and the chances were in Danish feet. There can be little doubt that the experienced goalkeeper showed over the two matches that he is Brian Riemer’s favourite for the cage. Did you see that save after 63 minutes?”
DR: “For the third time in 2024 alone, Kasper Schmeichel faced the Serbian players, and before this Monday night in Leskovac, the Danish keeper had not let a single goal go in. The fine statistics were somewhat challenged from the start, but the keeper started with a couple of good saves that prevented Serbia from getting the desired early lead.”
Schmeichel’s stats from the match highlight his exceptional performance:
- Six saves, including four diving stops
- Five saves inside the box
- One punching clearance
- One sweeper action
- Four ball recoveries
- 47 touches with 68% passing accuracy
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will be buoyed by Schmeichel’s praise, as the goalkeeper’s confidence is set to soar ahead of a critical period in the Scottish Premiership.
