Peter Schmeichel Biography

And I, like everyone who saw his game, cannot disagree with this assessment. Peter Boleslav Shmeichel was born: November 18. Height: see weight: kg. As a child, Schmeichel was seriously fond of music. He plays the guitar, piano and drum. In the German manner, the goalkeeper’s surname is pronounced as “shmayhel”, the goalkeeper himself claims that it is more correct to say “shmaikel”. Speaking for Manchester United Schmeichel scored the goal of Wimbledon with a blow to the “scissors”.

Peter Schmeichel has repeatedly noticed at the matches of his son. After the video released, the goalkeeper phrase “I just joked” became incredibly popular. In another advertisement - this time the Tipico bookmaker Peter Schmeichel and Oliver Kan argue about their achievements. In his autobiography, Roy Kin spoke about a fight with Peter Schmeichel, which occurred at one of the pre -season fees of Manchester United.

So we met, ”the goalkeeper recalls. Now Peter Schmeichel simply enjoys life. He is a frequent guest on television, starred in documentaries and various projects, for example, in Dirty Work on Discoveri. At one time, he led the Danish version of the famous television game Fort Boyard. Peter has not yet thought about returning to big football. Shmeikheli is a unique goalkeeper dynasty.

Even if you were born after go, you probably heard about Peter Schmeichel. Scandinavian bear in a color goalkeeper sweater and with the hairstyle of Forrest Gamp. He was remembered by incredibly important saves in M ​​Schmeichel repulsed the foam from Bergkamp in the semifinals of the Cup of England and helped Manchester United to decorate the treble and unique equipment.

He jumped out of the gate with an asterisk, spreading his arms and legs wide. Peter played for the United for eight years and is still considered the best goalkeeper in the history of Manchester United. And he was in the shadow of his father since childhood. The Casper was four days, so he does not remember the match “Vidderre” - “B”. One of the first memories of childhood is the training center "MU" Cliff.

From the age of six, Casper went here almost every day. After classes at Hulme Hall, he jumped into a car to his mother and after half an hour came to Cliff.

Usually he helped dad - on duty behind the gate, while he reflected the blows of Canton, Robson and Kanchelskis. If the ball flew away, Casper obediently fled after him. A unique archival video has been preserved - small ANS, Schmeichel and Bruce drive the ball in the Cliff Corridor. Of course, the Little Casper went to every match for Old Trafford, and considered the May trip to the final of the Cup of England to be a family tradition.

It is not surprising, under Peter Manchester United four times jumping into the final of the Cup. Since childhood, the guy surrounded football - it seems that he was supposed to be inspired by this and dream of repeating his father’s path. But Casper did not think about a career in football at all. Schmeichel Jr. did not engage in football at the Professional Academy, but drove for the school team Hulme Hall three times a week.

Peter did not teach his son football even in the backyard of their house-the MJ rules forbade such classes due to the risk of injury. Casper did not even choose a position: because of his dad he was sometimes put on the gate, but most often the kid played the striker, imitating his beloved canton. According to Kasper's memoirs, he began to feel like a goalkeeper only at the age of 13.

In m, after a crazy victory in the final of the Champions League, Schmeichel moved to Sporting. Kasper was arranged at the Acstoril Academy athletic boarding school. Here he finally moved into the goal and first joined daily training. And yet, Casper doubted the future - the profession of a football player looked tempting, but there were other interests. Everything changed the second season when Estheril reached the final of the youth championship of Portugal.

All year, the team played gravel: nothing to the field players, but you don’t especially jump the goalkeepers. Therefore, Casper and his shifter Silwiu played in time. But in the final it is not so: the casper drags everything that is possible, the “Esthel” leads, and the coach changes the goalkeeper only ten minutes before the end. Casper-Portuguese champion U's own performance inspired Schmeichel Jr.

so that he decided to become a professional player. He coolly took his son’s desire and did not particularly help him. Schmeikhel Sr. was passionate about his own career: after two years in Sporting, he sharpened the Premier League of the Premier League-the best tournament in the world and moved to Aston Villa. The family returned to Denmark, Casper entered the school of the local "Ure".

It was during this period that an event happened, after which Peter believed in his son. We transfer to the eve of Christmas when the family flew to Peter in Birmingham. Schmeichel Sr. took his son to training Aston Villa. Casper went, although his stomach was sick. The guy was jokingly offered to get on the gate in the binary - Casper agreed again and looked very worthy.

The best forward of Aston Villa, Juan Pablo Angel, went one on one three times, but Casper turned on the courage of the pope - he stood until the last, and then rushed under his feet. Father and son happy returned home, but by the evening the pain in Kasper's abdomen increased sharply. Parents called an ambulance: it turned out that the summer guy had a full -fledged training of the Premier League club with an inflamed appendix.That evening, the Casper was removed.

The next day, he returned from the hospital and immediately started a shootout with snowballs with his younger sister. The guy returned to training in two weeks instead of three doctors recommended by doctors. These qualities are rarely manifested at such a young age. ” In February, when Kasper finally recovered from inflammation, Peter organized an increase in the classroom to his son.

I agreed, although we had two more good goalkeepers. ” It did not work out with Bronbu, but after a couple of months a new opportunity arose. In the summer, Gmeichel Sr. moved to Manchester City. Following the Peter, the British invited Casper to a three -week viewing. The appearance of the summer goalkeeper in training the first team was surprised by many. During an interval run, the Israeli midfielder Ail Berkovich suddenly stopped and shouted: “What the hell is going on here?!

Who is this child? Nevertheless, the chief coach Kevin Kigan liked the game of Shmeichel, and the offfer flew to the guy for the first professional contract. Casper began to train systematically just three years ago and already signed a contract with the Premier League Club - how is it possible? Casper began to suspect something-according to his version, Peter asked Kigan to take him to the team.

But the Casper never asked the pope about it. At this stage, the help of Schmeichel Sr. ended. On the eve of the first training, Peter asked his son: “Who do you want me to be for you - a coach or father? So it went: in training, Peter went to the field players, and Casper worked with the spare goalkeepers-Carlo Neesh and Kevin Stur-Ellegor another Danish. After the season, Peter ended his career.

A few years later, Kasper realized that his career in City was not developing. The goalkeepers are changing, and it remains a reserve. The guy decided to strengthen training, but for advice he did not go to his father, but on the Internet. I studied the game of goalkeepers and adopted the details from them that I liked. Entering the ball into the game, the manner of jumping, moving the legs, the game when exiting one on one.

The next day I worked out in training. At the German goalkeepers, I adopted the manner of rolling after jumping the ball. The goalkeeper makes such jumps once a day, in 20 years of career it seriously overloads the back and hips. The roll removes such a load. ” While Peter was finishing his career and working on television, Casper managed to traveled to the English dungeon: he still belonged to City, but was gaining experience in rental at Darlington, Bay, Cardiff, Coventry.

The debut for City happened only in M, when the Casper was, after debut matches for City, journalists wrote not about the goalkeeper skill of Casper, but about the resemblance to Peter. It really amazed: Casper wore the same green sweater, a short haircut in the Scandinavian style. Even the habit of screaming at the defenders was preserved the debutant yelled at the experienced Richard Danna for an incorrect position with an angular one.

Growth was different - the casper is a few centimeters shorter. Even goalkeeper technology coincides. Until the age of eighteen, Peter was ill with a handball - hence the pose of the sea star when repelling strokes. The same scenario was repeated there: the fans were first fascinated by the legendary surname, and after the missed they pulled the ballad that they brought the fake Schmeichel.

Casper played decently in “Notts” missed only 0.68 goals per match, just the expectations were high.
