Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has spoken to the Danish media about his thoughts on recently installed Denmark manager Brian Riemer.
Signed by Brendan Rodgers in the summer to replace Joe Hart, Schmeichel’s performances for Celtic have helped him keep hold of the No.1 jersey during the last two international breaks.
Speaking to Tipsbladet, the Celtic stopper was asked about the Riemer’s character after he played under the Dane whilst at Anderlecht.
Seen in the Danish media as a mellow manager, Schmeichel revealed Riemer can be hard with his players at times. The Celtic man said there were a few occasions at Anderlecht when the former Brentford coach would lose it with players if his instructions weren’t be followed.
“I remember several times that during breaks and after games, he spoke with big words. As a coach, you have to be able to do both, and he certainly can. There are a couple of times that I have not been able to understand that he has not broken his hand from slamming things,” said the Celtic keeper.
Schmeichel will be looking to win his 110th cap when Denmark face Spain this week and will be hoping to replicate the form he’s shown since signing for Celtic in the summer.
The 38-year-old has let in just three goals in eleven league games this season and is also yet to concede in the UEFA Nations League.
