Kasper Schmeichel, formerly of Leicester City, is the son of Peter Schmeichel, a former Manchester United goalkeeper.
Kasper is now playing for Nice in France, but according to the media, he is off to a bad start.
Aside from his weight, which the French club believes is excessive, Kasper has a slew of other issues to deal with.
After 11 years at Leicester City, where he helped the club win the Premier League in 2015-16, the Danish international joined the Ligue 1 side in the summer.
However, according to RMC Sport, he has not made the best impression in France, with frustrations over the 35-year-behaviour. old’s
At 35, he did not accomplish what Peter did at Manchester United. We will do the comparison after we explore the problems faced by the ageing goalie.
It is rumoured that Casper’s entourage went above club manager Lucien Favre to get the club owners Jim Ratcliffe to start the season as the number 1 keeper.
But Favre seemed to have disregarded the request. Instead he is opting for Polish shot-stopper Marcin Bulka, who has also joined the club on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
Casper’s career started well in League Two! He kept 24 clean sheets in 43 league games and won the league title with Notts County.
With this record in hands and preceded by his dad’s great reputation, he earned a place at Leicester City in 2011.
It is coach Sven Goran Eriksson, who was coaching the young casper at Notts County who brought him on to Leicester where he rose as a famous keeper himself.
He spent three seasons in the Championship before being promoted to the Premier League in 2014 with Leicester.
He appeared in 479 games for Leicester City and became a club legend due to the consistency of his performances. Winning the Premier League will remain his best performance.
Peter The Giant
But compared to dad, Casper is very far away in the league of giants.
Manchester United signed Schmeichel on 6 August 1991 for £505,000[17], a fee described as the “bargain of the century” by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in 2000.
In Schmeichel’s first season, Manchester United finished second. In addition, for the first time in the club’s history, they won the Football League Cup. He was named “The World’s Best Goalkeeper of 1992” by IFFHS for his performances throughout the season.
He won several titles with Manchester United and played for Manchester City, where Casper started his career.
Schmeichel is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, as well as Denmark’s greatest goalkeeper ever, by pundits and former and current goalkeeping colleagues.
For Casper, it appears the end is near and that his dad will remain one of the best goalies of all time in the EPL history.
