Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart explains why his friend and former Manchester City team-mate Kasper Schmeichel is still playing on the biggest stage for Denmark at the age of 37.
I have not heard Kasper Schmeichel speak before Denmark’s Euro 2024 game against England on Thursday, but I know exactly what he will be feeling.
At 37, he is the same age as me. Well, in fact, he is five months older. He is the oldest keeper to have played at these Euros so far, and I love the fact he is still playing on the biggest stage. But as well as his physical attributes, I know how his mentality has played a huge part in what he has done in his career, and how he achieved it.
That got Kasper through a few doors, and got him into conversations, but the rest? He had to do it all himself. All of this was part of his journey down to League Two and back to become a title winner with Leicester, via the loan moves he made at every level, or when he was willing to take risks and drop down divisions in order to play first-team football.
