Now that Kasper is playing goal for Celtic, Peter Schmeichel has begun to show a strong interest in the team.
The Manchester United legend and the other Celtic supporters had a terrible night the last time out when Borussia Dortmund defeated Brendan Rodgers’ team by seven goals.
As you might imagine, Schmeichel’s job as a Celtics reporter for the American network CBS would not have been easy, particularly after the game when he had to conduct interviews and offer commentary.
Kasper Schmeichel has had a great start to his time at Parkhead, but the Denmark international had a memorable game.
However, there are instances when it’s about how you get back up and respond because the entire team just
However, on Wednesday night in Italy, the entire squad did just that, so sometimes it’s just how you get back up and respond.
Kasper earned a much-needed clean sheet against the team that has scored the most goals in Italy this season as Celtic gained a well-earned 0-0 draw with Atalanta.
This time, Schmeichel senior was not present at the game, but Celtic supporters will appreciate what he did to attempt to keep the game going.
Peter Schmeichel is watching Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich while Celtic draws at Atalanta.
Barcelona’s heavyweight encounter against Bayern Munich, which began just over two hours after the Celtic game and ended with a 4-1 victory for the Spanish team, was one of the draws of matchday three.
When Schmeichel Senior was scheduled to do a pre-match segment to London studios where Kate Scott, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards were located, he was live at the stadium while covering the game for CBS.
According to CBS Sports on Paramount+ (23/10/24 at 7:05 pm), he was staring down at his phone when the camera panned to him, but then he looked up and said, “I am watching Celtic play Atalanta away.”
After a “really, really bad experience” in Dortmund, he said with a little more relief that “it’s going a little bit better.”
“As you are aware, I attended Celtic’s most recent game in Dortmund, and I didn’t have a great experience,” P. Schmeichel said as he watched Celtic face Atalanta away. It’s a very, really awful experience, in fact. Today is going a little better. As you can see, the score is 0-0 after 62 and 63 minutes. I pray that they don’t score right now because that would be terrible.
Then, as Peter turned away from the game, Jamie Carragher made a joke about Atalanta scoring: The retired keeper remarked, “You are kidding me.” “Why do you do such things?”
“I just saw Peter that you stopped watching your phone,” Carragher continued. You can’t look away from the game. As Brian Clough once famously stated, it just takes a second to score a goal.
Celtic vs. Atalanta stats for Kasper Schmeichel
This was one of Kasper’s best outings wearing a Celtic shirt, as he received the highest rating of any teammate on WhoScored, 8.07.
In addition, he made six saves during the game and performed admirably behind Liam Scales and Auston Trusty, the center-backs.
In the summer, Schmeichel took Joe Hart’s place as Celtic’s number one, and he had a lot of responsibilities.
Hart praised Schmeichel’s performance against Atalanta, and now the team needs to keep up the good work and go to the Champions League knockout stages.
