One of the most underrated goalkeepers in the world.
He is a true heir of his fathers name
Who doesn't rate him?
Bro he's one of the best. He's not underrated.
1000000%
Literally no one underrates him
This man, Vardy and Wes Morgan deserve a statue outside Leicester City's stadium after they retire
Mahrez?
@@ayyel551 For forcing a move away from them?
@Soyuncu 0 but he’s not at Leicester now is he, pointless if there were to be a statue
@Soyuncu 0 wasn't kante the one, he even won player of the season right?
@Soyuncu 0 Vardy contributed the most that season. But overall it was a great team effort that got the trophy
Danish friends part at 11:42
👍
@@Pri405 rudiger is better
Thanks mate 👍🏻
Cheers! 👍
Hey
We're so lucky to have this guy at Leicester! Doesn't get enough praise in my opinion. A great leader and awesome career so far considering who his dad is.
Agree top 10 goalkeeper in the world
@@neymarjunior1150 top 3
@@samdavey440 courtois, navas,donarumma,ederson,allison,oblak ,nuer,ter stegn and many many more.. and kasper is also there.. what euros he had ...
Alison and ederson are overated
@@samdavey440 they’re not
I am glad he made it his own way. People expected him to do it at a "big club" like his dad but he went through the lower leagues and stuck by Leicester. He also seems to have a good sense of humour and grounded feet when you think about the whole Eriksen incident and his banter with the English players.
I mean he did start at city
@@starbuckscoffee8521 That was technically before the oil money came in and even then he left once Joe Hart became no. 1
@@starbuckscoffee8521 his father was playing for City at the time, it only made sense to be there as a kid. Also, we all know having your father play for a local rival will get you abuses, better to avoid any traumatic experiences.
Big teams win big leagues right? Let me remind you that Leicester won the premier league before Liverpool and have won it more recently than Man United too. Leicester are a big club. Great owners, great team. This is coming from a Man United fan before you start lol
@@macabre_delights He was there before they were considered a big club though. He stuck with them and remained loyal
Probably the most normal sounding footballer I’ve ever seen. Just gives honest answers regardless of what people will say. LETS GO CHAMP!
He is, after all, Danish. Not being too big for your boots is in the DNA + he married a midwife, which will keep him grounded. (In Denmark getting into that educationis for the best and the brightest - you need crazy high notes).
"He doesn't have the imagination" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Killed me 🤣🤣🤣😭
Kasper definitely the type to hold grudges loool 🤣
Didn’t expect to see you in here
He IS a Scorpio.
@@LucianaShadow stop.
Love how the video’s about Kasper but everyone is talking about Vardy
have you heard vardy do interviews ... cliche responses
And Mark Albrighton
After all these years finally Schmeichel tells us what really happened with the "Danish Friends Incident" Bet he's been waiting to get the story right for ages 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 What a guy seems comes across super humble and likeable
he said it a while ago on the crouchy podcast
@@bubbydabeast4253 don't watch that tbh but jokes
Of course vardy copied him and everyone thinks he’s hilarious 😂 such a Vardy thing to do!
Bruno is better than both now.
@Divenaldo Penaldo He never said anything about ronaldo tho
yh
@Divenaldo Penaldo Yh he is a troll but there is no proof that he supports ronaldo
He didn't copy him though, that's the point. It was basically an inside joke that made it even funnier.
Kasper is intelligent and knowledgable - a breath of fresh air in football
Was gonna say his accents mad then realised he’s lived here his whole life😂🤦♂️
tbf Dutch and Danish are close enough to English that if you learn it from a young age, even in Denmark or Holland, you can pretty much end up without an accent. but yeah he’s a Northener
@@imamoronand9199 English is close enough to every single Eurasian language. The thing that you mean is how close the language's pronunciation is. AND Danish is freaking alien compared to English. If you learn a language at an early age, it doesn't matter what your original language is; that's why people have good English accents not your "Dutch and Danish are close enough to English that if you learn it from a young age". Even if it's an alien language, if you learn English at an early enough age, you will get the accent.
@@shambhav9534 You are right. But it has always been easy for Danes to adapt accents. You can see it with all the actors who can do pretty good British accents with limited training. Danish is such a hard and 'alien' language that most other language then seems easy to pronounce for Danes. That's why Danes rarely change the pronunciation on foreign names or terms for example.
@@MichaelHolmgaard Yep, that too is a point. It'll be easier for me to say Spanish stuff because I can say stuff harder due to my language than someone who's first language was English. It just the language which has a broader spectrum, not the most alien language though. I get your point.
@@imamoronand9199 Eh. Native residing Danes are exposed to English mainly through American media. If we manage to overcome, not just our national but also our regional accents, we gravitate towards a sort of generic American broadcast voice.
What a lovely guy! Grounded, great sense of humour but with that honest, driven intensity. And one hell of a keeper. Nice one Kasper.👍
Great keeper and obviously a really good guy too. The Leicester team sound like a proper laugh 😂
I know right they have great friendship and banter and they get the results on the pitch too. One of the most likeable teams and players in the Premier League.
The smile on my face was crushed when he said that donnarumma is near to the best in the world, he crushed our dreams but the truth is the truth, fantastic gk
I just love leicester city squad.. Great players and personalities.. Schmiechel, Vardy, Evans, Madisson, Harvey Barnes.. I hope they win PL this season!
I hope so too my friend 🤞
They’re hard to dislike
Hopefully atleast this time stay top 4😅
Lol winning the pl? Let’s see if they can finish 5th again let alone winning the league
@@therealpvc2541 i mean they did it before
Very underrated goalkeeper. One of the best in the Premier League.
Absolutely love this guy, deserves so much more credit, what he did for Leicester was amazing, hes a legend, and yes it has been home before 😉
Love him or hate him, he’s one of the best keepers and down to earth guys out there playing football
I doubt anyone hates him, hes awesome
His father Peter is one of my idols. Yeah Kasper is a class act as well on and off the pitch. I hope Kasper works on screen as a pundit after retirement because he's really cool.
If you wanna see loyalty, just take a look at Kasper and vardy. 🤙🏼
He is such a great bloke so professional. You’ve got to love the Danish
Hes english jus plays for denmark thru parent
@@jamessmith4516 he's not though is he. He was born in Denmark
@@jamessmith4516 Bro, as a danish person, this guys bleeds Red and White, and he's not shy about it. He's not even a little english, beyond speaking it well.
@@rtyuuuuu Both flags are red and white :D
@@defacto-vh6cp True, but we call ourselves "De Rød Hvide", which translates to The Red Whites. You call yourselves three lions or whatever...
I know that he lived in England for most of his life, but that accent is so British I forgot that he's Danish 😂
He's half Danish so he's accent is very British
Also the Danish accent is probably the European accent that sounds the closest to the northern British accent. That is why most Danes sound a bit British speaking English. It might be something to do with the Vikings invading northern England
@@eoinpratlett5279 he’s whole danish he was just born in England
I thought he’s lived in England his whole life
@@patrickvilhof1727that means he's half English and half Danish
Kasper seems intimidating. He just has a very strong character, like I think I’d be scared to get on the wrong side of him or upset him lol
Leicster fan here he is such a good leader and leads by example love Kasper
Denmark now have qualified to WM 2022 with 8 straight wins, 27 goals made and not one conceded. Denmarks defense have been great for years, but having a top world class goalkeeper as final backstopper really makes a difference! Such a joy to watch this clip. A unique participant but at the same time you never doubt Kasper are a TEAM player! It is so easy to get complacent when the earnings are high, but Kasper clearly keeps working hard to keep growing. Man U must still be blue and green over selling him to Leicester. They screwed up and put him at goal at to young an age. His father also just got better and better with age. If anyone should have known that would happen, besides us Danes that never doubted it, it should have been Man U. Good for you Leicester!
LEGEND 💫 done wonders for my fpl team for the past few years, Leicester that club everybody rates 💯
If I didn't knew beforehand that Kasper was danish, I would have 100% said that he's English, like man just kills that accent innit
Literally lived in England his entire life
@@SIW808 people forget where his dad was playing football. Or they assume he commuted between Manchester and Copenhagen 🤦🏻♂️
@@kayjay8059 lol
He's half English that's why or its the other way around
@@eoinpratlett5279 he’s not half English he is danish just lived in England for almost all of his life
Vardy's "Ooo Danish Friends" still gets me every time. 😂
He's a class act, my favourite GK.
This was the best footballer Q&A I‘ve seen so far
Proud Dane here! 🇩🇰 Much love to the most underrated keeper in football history! ❤️🇩🇰🙌🏼
No he is English 🏴
@@sametozkan9175 Haha! Year he sounds very British, but still 100 % 🇩🇰. 😂
Underrated under the radar one of the most consistent goalkeepers of our generation
na Ian walker was ten times better and David James facts.
Like father like son, both brilliant keepers 👏
no where near his dad's level ............. Ian walker was better than this trollop
Are all the Leicester players so well articulated or what . First Maddinson and now Kasper both oozing class 🙌🙌

Kasper is in my opinion the best keeper in the world. Im from Denmark and he have saved us so many times. He deserves so much😊❤️🇩🇰
Hej jeg er også dansk
@@mathiascetti4389 not the best but a top goalkeeper nonetheless
No he is English he is not your compatriot.
@@Whateverworksism Calm down man but what happened to you?
@@sametozkan9175 I'm quite calm, thank you. I fail to see how my level of calmness have anything to do with your inaccurate statement. Now, I 'm about to find out how I block people, so I can be your comments absent. Have a good day. Edit: oh, now I get why you are so proud of writing inaccurate statements: "Location: Sweden". Everything forgiven then, you can't help it.
One of the best in the league, seems like a really nice guy
Kudos to him and to _Danish Dynamite!_ Btw what a gem of a player that _Damsgaard_ lad is! For my money, that _Sterling_ pen against them should not have been given.
"Has it ever been home" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that hurt, but he was 100% correct
Won't be home until foden hits his prime
Yeah. Thought that was a bit classless.
Vardy and Kasper grows from forgotten players into EPL Legends.
One of the best keepers in the world!!!!🧤🧤
Legend... So proud he is Danish❤🇩🇰
What a great guy ❤️
What a keeper! Just oozes class, both on and off the pitch 🇩🇰💪🏼
No he is from 🏴
what a guy ! loved that he chose Eric Cantona as his idol ... he's clearly a man united fan
It does help that his dad was the United keeper
When de gea leaves United will go for him.
@@Matt19matt19 well they won’t
@@stevecc2670 Would be good there, having a goalkeeper with functioning limbs tends to be of use in the Premier League.
But he came through the Academy at City, so there is that.
Would be a great football manager, very good guy to listen to
Such a good bloke!
Top 3 keeper in the league. Not only because he’s from Denmark as me, if Mendy wasn’t our keeper at Chelsea. I would choose Schmeichel all day long. 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
‘Has it ever been home?’ Never forget 😭😭😭😭😭
One of the best and most underrated goalkeepers of the last decade
Comes into my work every now and then after midnight and has with his dad too both amazing People super friendly and polite even did pictures at 1:30 in morning no hesitation
Full stops and commas, my friend.
I honestly think that schmeichel is actually one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Yeah!
from a selfish pov (Leicester fan) I'm so glad he's fallen under the world class keeper radar. He's been top 3 in prem for last few seasons.
@@rscoops3986 It’s true he is for some reason not seen as one of the best but he is honestly insane when it comes to saving shots and pens.
Been in the top 5 at least in the Prem for years now
@@Uio3eva the thing is you would think that his dad being Peter Schmeichel that he would be seen as one of the best as he is one of the best a bit wierd.
the way he said "innit" so fluently
Most underrated GK in the world
Navas included
@@olanrewaju8202 ikr like man won 3 straight UCLs and still not enough talked about
@@thecrazypianist8243 with the best defence of the decade ahead of him and some absolute world class players in every position don’t get me wrong he underrated but Schmeichel is definitely more underrated
Good questions👊🏾 very good answers.
So underrated, he's top 3 in the league for sure
Enjoyable interview. Kasper has a way with words, maybe a future in punditry
11:42 is what you came for
God bless you, have an amazing day :)
aCtUaLlY i CaMe FoR tHe EnTiRe VidEo!!
Very likable. Very smart and collected as well.
Must be the first F A Cup final when the score was 1-0 and yet 2 players won the game ! Just shows how good Kasper is to be voted ahead of a world Cup winning Goalkeeper who made the greatest save ever in the ultimate Leicester team .Thanks for giving me a day I thought I would never see .LEICESTER LEGEND !

Kasper as a GK Underrated.
Even the lasers love this guy
Love your vids keep up the cracking work
Du er allerede en legende Kasper - men bliv lige ved med de fantastiske redninger. Og den mod Finland er 100% tilgivet! You're already a legend Kasper - but just keep making those fantastic saves. And the one against Finland is 100% forgiven!
He’s clearly one of the best goalkeepers in the world, he’s also so friendly
No.
love how they are breaking down vardy making an easy joke like this is the Screen Actors Guild or something.
He seem so knowledgeable
I love him so much
just listening to his voice could never say he's danish till u see his face 😂
He’s lived in England basically his whole life
that makes 0 sense,he looks english as well. Youll know hes danish only when you look at his flag or national team jersey
@@niranjanrajesh8339 Huh, sorry but he most definitely does not look English in any way whatsoever....
Class!
Legend
mind when he joined my local team on loan falkirk and what a half season man.. we wanted to keep him so much.. aroundthat time we had 3/4 good keepers are another
“Speaks better English than Harry Kane”
-literally everyone
@Jarrod why don't you cut it smaller?
@Jarrod I was joking
Most Danes speaks better English than Kane does to be honest. 😂
@@ITubeTooInc Nowhere near true. I live in Scandinavia and people should stop telling them they're so good at English. They are good compared to, say, your average Albanian, but very, very few can come close to a native speaker fluency.
Most underrated goalie in prem today
As a Leicester fan there's no one else I'd rather have in goal and I say that with sincerity.
What a nice guy
anyone here during the premiere is a legend.
Can't wait
He's a hero. :)
one of the best goalkeepers in the world and the euros also pl
I love how he always calls the bias English media
Pure Danish Viking but yet that phenomenal accent makes me think otherwise
Like father like son, what a great lad
World class goalkeeper
“We’ve had thousands of questions but I’m going to pick these incredibly boring ones that we wrote ourselves”
Where are the "did the laser really effect you" questions 😭😭😭😭
He told danish media that it did not affect him, i got you covered ;)
They never actually ask him the popular questions
@@chrislfc_7959 still unsportsmanlike
Who's the best striker zzzzzzz
@@JB-kd9wg 90% of the questions were about his dad. Must be super annoying to constantly get asked about his dad.
Great bloke. Good talker
Liverpool fan respect to leicester and schmeichel is a world class goalkeeper
My two best goal keeper.. Kasper🤝Manu
Marc Albrighton is so underrated ..
do this with Manchester United players please this season FIFA22 Ratings reveal, QnAs, and more
a very likable guy, seems intelligent as well
what a guy, he spoke so well
He was born and grew up here?
.
@@Joe-gj3uh why do so many people think he was born in England
@@gordybrown3667 Pretty sure he was
@@Joe-gj3uh well the fact that Peter Schmeichel didn't move to England til 91 and kasper was born in 86 would be a bit weird if he was born England
Im a Chelsea fan and i genuinely think Kasper is top 3 keepers in the world.
Dansk legende, kom så Kasper Schmeichel!!! 🇩🇰🥅🧤
The only goalkeeper that have no hate and the most consistent
Ask about the laser pointer
Glad he called out the media bias towards english players
so much harder for English players. under the microscope. theyre either absolutely rubbished and destroyed or overhyped and then destroyed or variations. the media focus on them makes it so much more intense than for foreign players.
A great goalkeeper
