Kasper Schmeichel Opens Up on Life at Celtic and Contract Talks

Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has expressed his delight with life at the Scottish Champions, praising the team’s style of play and his own performances. In an interview with Tipsbladet, Schmeichel discussed his experiences since joining Celtic and his thoughts on the future.

Settling into Celtic

Schmeichel, 38, replaced Joe Hart between the Celtic goals and has been impressive, bringing quality in distribution and making crucial saves. He has settled into the club and enjoys the team’s style of play.

“I’m very happy. I’ve been playing really well, and I love being part of the team,” Schmeichel said. “It’s a great style of play that we have, and it suits me really well. We’re off to a good start, but it’s not about how you start.”

Celtic’s Strong Start

Schmeichel highlighted Celtic’s impressive performances, including victories over Manchester City and Chelsea in pre-season and a Champions League win against RB Leipzig.

“The last week has been characterized by our team. In pre-season, we beat City and Chelsea, and then we’ve taken it further and beat Leipzig in the Champions League. We’re in a good place, and we can play many different types of games.”

Pressure of Playing for Celtic

Schmeichel acknowledged the pressure of playing for Celtic, where anything less than a win is considered a failure.

“It’s a completely different type of pressure than what I’ve been used to in my career. It’s a new experience,” he said.

Contract Talks

Schmeichel’s current deal includes an option for another year, and he confirmed that discussions about a new contract will take place in the New Year.

“One thing at a time. It’s an option for another year, but we’ll decide at some point next year,” Schmeichel said.

Manager Brendan Rodgers’ Future

With Rodgers having eighteen months remaining on his current deal, Schmeichel’s future may be tied to the manager’s. If Rodgers extends his stay, it’s likely Schmeichel will remain Celtic’s No.1, with Sinclair Sinisalo deputizing.

Fan Reaction

Celtic supporters are eager for Schmeichel to extend his stay, with one fan, Don, commenting, “C’mon Celtic, let’s do things the easy way for once. Sign Kasper to a two-year now… If we snooze on either of these signings, we will lose them both to mid-table EPL teams or to Serie A.”

Conclusion

Kasper Schmeichel’s love for Celtic is clear, and his performances have been instrumental in the team’s success. As contract talks approach, Celtic fans will watch with interest to see if Schmeichel will remain at the club.

With his experience and quality, Schmeichel is vital to Celtic’s title aspirations. His future, tied to Rodgers’, will be a key storyline in the coming months.
