“…now it’s about winning and winning well…” – Kasper Schmeichel Narrates His Celtic Experience and Change of Mindset Since Joining Celtic…

KASPER SCHMEICHEL: MY CELTIC EXPERIENCE IS ‘UNIQUE’ AND HAS ‘ELEVATED’ MY GAME

Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has revealed that his experience at the Scottish Premiership club has been unlike anything he has encountered in his illustrious career.

Schmeichel, who has played for top-tier clubs such as Manchester City, Leicester City, Nice, and Anderlecht, has won numerous honors, including the Premier League, FA Cup, and Community Shield. However, the Danish shot-stopper has admitted that the pressure to win at Celtic is “unique” and has elevated his game to new heights.

“The opportunity of going to Celtic was a unique one for me, because you’ve played for clubs where it’s expected to win,” Schmeichel explained in an interview. “I’ve never really played for those clubs where it’s expected. So going to Celtic now, that pressure that if you don’t win, if you just draw, it’s a catastrophe.”

Schmeichel’s comments highlight the intense scrutiny and expectation that comes with playing for a club like Celtic, which has a rich history of success and a passionate fan base. The goalkeeper’s ability to thrive under this pressure has been impressive, and he believes that it has taken his game to new heights.

“But also, I think it’s elevated my game because now it’s not just about winning, it’s about being perfect,” Schmeichel added. “Now we don’t have to just win, we have to do it perfectly. So every action I do now, every bit of handling, every pass, everything has to be perfect. Now, it’s not just about winning.”

Schmeichel’s winning mentality has been evident throughout his career, and it is clear that he has bought into the Celtic ethos. The club’s fans will be delighted to hear that the goalkeeper is relishing the challenge of playing for a club with such high expectations.

The Danish goalkeeper’s experience in the Champions League this season has also been a valuable learning curve. Despite finding the competition “tough,” Schmeichel is eager to continue competing at the highest level.

“Now, there are different things that motivate me,” Schmeichel said. “Now, it is about winning and winning well, and how much can we win. And the Champions League this season was an incredible experience. We competed, but for my mentality, I wanted to win. And that was tough. That was a tough moment.”

As Celtic continues to push for success on multiple fronts, Schmeichel’s experience and winning mentality will be invaluable assets to the team. With a possible treble on the horizon, the goalkeeper has the chance to etch his name into the club’s history books and cement his status as a Celtic legend.
