Sport nationKasper Schmeichel Reveals Celtic’s European Growth Ahead of Aston Villa Clash
Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has expressed his confidence in the team’s ability to navigate the challenges of European competition, citing their recent performances as evidence of their growth and maturity. The Danish shot-stopper, who has been an integral part of Brendan Rodgers’ side this season, believes that the team’s experiences in the Champions League have been invaluable in shaping their approach to the competition.
Schmeichel’s comments come ahead of Celtic’s highly anticipated clash with Aston Villa on Wednesday, a match that promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of the UK’s most storied clubs. While the Vikings will be without the services of Jota, who recently completed an emotional return to the club but is not registered in Celtic’s Champions League squad, Schmeichel remains optimistic about his team’s chances.
“When you look at our squad, we’re a good team to watch,” Schmeichel said. “I think we’re enjoyable to watch. What I like about us is that we learn and we mature.”
Schmeichel’s assessment of Celtic’s growth and maturity is borne out by their recent performances in the Champions League. The team’s 1-0 victory over Young Boys last Wednesday was a testament to their ability to navigate the challenges of European competition, and Schmeichel believes that this experience will serve them well in their upcoming clash with Aston Villa.
The Danish goalkeeper also reflected on Celtic’s 7-1 defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund earlier in the campaign, citing it as an example of the team’s ability to learn from their setbacks. “We had the setback against Dortmund, but what, for me, is the big marker of any team is how you come back from those setbacks,” Schmeichel said.
Schmeichel’s comments are a testament to the team’s resilience and determination, and he believes that this mental toughness will be crucial in their upcoming clash with Aston Villa. While the Vikings will be without the services of Jota, Schmeichel remains confident in his team’s ability to secure a positive result.
“I think our game, particularly in Europe, has matured very nicely,” Schmeichel said. “The Leipzig result, that whole performance was a great performance. I think we’re a difficult team to beat.”
As Celtic prepares to face Aston Villa on Wednesday, Schmeichel’s comments serve as a reminder of the team’s growth and maturity in European competition. With their recent performances in the Champions League providing a solid foundation for success, the Vikings will be looking to build on this momentum and secure a positive result against their English opponents.
While the match promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of the UK’s most storied clubs, Schmeichel’s confidence in his team’s ability to navigate the challenges of European competition is a testament to the Vikings’ growth and maturity. As the team prepares to face Aston Villa on Wednesday, one thing is certain: Celtic will be a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League.
