In Part 2 of our A Guest and a Half video series, Peter Schmeichel continues the journey we began in Part 1, where he took us behind the scenes of his life as a media star (CBS Golazo), reflected on live football’s evolution, and even revealed how he handled penalties during his Brøndby days.
Now, Schmeichel goes further. From revealing Sir Alex Ferguson as “like a father,” to praising David Beckham beyond the headlines, reliving the drama of Euro ’92, and discussing about United’s future under Amorim.
You can read about the whole interview below, and watch it here:
Best in History: Schmeichel’s Ultimate Goalkeeper Rankings
Sofascore: Let’s play a game called Synonyms. We’ll go through a list of goalkeeping categories, and you just name one goalkeeper you think is the best in that specific area. Ready?
Schmeichel: Let’s do it.
Sofascore: Footwork and ball distribution – best in football history?
Schmeichel: I’d say Ederson.
Sofascore: Reflexes and explosiveness?
Schmeichel: Manuel Neuer.
Sofascore: Nice! Positioning? And just to clarify, you can include yourself.
Schmeichel: No, I’m not going to put myself in any of these. We’re talking football history – that’s a lot to choose from.
Sofascore: Fair enough. So positioning?
Schmeichel: I’d go with Dino Zoff.
Sofascore: Zoff! I’m almost 39, so I obviously didn’t watch him live. But I know how good he was.
Schmeichel: What I find remarkable is how he always seemed to be in the right place. I can’t remember him diving much – he was just… there. Fantastic goalkeeper.
Sofascore: Shot-stopping – just pure, raw reflexes?
Schmeichel: That’s really difficult. I’m stuck between Buffon and Casillas. So I’ll go with both. They were both absolutely outstanding in that department. I honestly can’t choose between them.
Sofascore: One-on-ones?
Schmeichel: Alisson. When I watch Liverpool and I see an attacker go one-on-one with him, I know it’s not going to be a goal. And the players know that, too. He’s built that reputation.
Sofascore: It almost reminds me of how tennis players used to talk about Federer or Nadal – like you had to hit the line to even stand a chance. Is it similar?
Schmeichel: It’s exactly the same. That’s the thought process I used myself. I wanted attackers to think, “Okay, I’m free, but I need to be perfect. I’m up against him.” If you can flip the script and make that situation work to your advantage – that’s powerful. But it takes a lot of hard work.
Sofascore: How did you train for that?
Schmeichel: I worked on angles for years. My coach would take me around the penalty area with nothing but lines and the penalty spot as guidance. He’d place his foot on the ball and ask me, “Point where your posts are.” No matter where I stood, I’d know exactly where my two posts were. That way, when someone came one-on-one with me, they wouldn’t see the goal – they’d just see me. It’s boring, tedious work – like a pianist practicing scales. But it’s fundamental. Once you know it by heart, your confidence skyrockets. Then you can focus on the attacker, because you already know where you are. You close down the goal.
Sofascore: And that’s what you see in Alisson?
Schmeichel: Exactly. He’s fast. He gets into position quickly. And more importantly, when he jumps out, his feet are on the ground before the shot. That sprint to get into the perfect position – not many keepers can do it, but he does. Nearly every time.
Sofascore: So when the striker looks up, suddenly…
Schmeichel: …the goal’s gone. It’s just him.
Sofascore: Next category: penalties.
Schmeichel: When I thought about this myself, I picked Yann Sommer. I saw him do this thing where he shifted to one side to bait the taker, then dove to the other. Really smart. So I’ll go with him – even though it’s based on just that moment.
Sofascore: Do you know who saved the most penalties in history?
Schmeichel: No, tell me.
Sofascore: 26 penalties saved – against Ronaldo, Kane, Salah, Agüero, Lukaku…
Schmeichel: …Kasper.
Sofascore: Yes!
Schmeichel: I was going to say Kasper too. I didn’t know that stat, though. 26 is incredible. He’s very good on penalties. Remember against you guys in 2018 – he saved three and still didn’t win.
Sofascore: Like Mbappé scoring a hat-trick in the World Cup final and still not winning.
Schmeichel: Exactly. Kasper – fantastic, especially in penalties.
Sofascore: Okay. Crosses and aerial balls?
Schmeichel: Courtois. In modern football, he’s the only one who truly dominates his box. That dominance allows Real Madrid to push higher, play the way they play. You need that.
Sofascore: Anticipation?
Schmeichel: Neuer. In Euro 2012, even though Germany lost, we saw something new. A goalkeeper driving his team forward, heading the ball, almost acting like a third center-back. I think he invented a new position. There’s no name for it yet.
Sofascore: Agility and coordination?
Schmeichel: That’s a weird one. How do you say the best one? I’d say Yann Sommer again. He’s about 183-184 cm, so a bit smaller by typical standards. But he’s so quick on his feet.
Sofascore: I first thought of Fabien Barthez, maybe?
Schmeichel: But Sommer is different. This season, playing at the highest level, he’s been very, very good.
Sofascore: And communication with the defense?
Schmeichel: Interesting one. During lockdown, I was lucky to attend matches in empty stadiums. You could actually hear everything. One guy who stood out was Mike Maignan – his voice, his presence. But the one who really blew me away? Thomas Müller.
Sofascore: Müller?
Schmeichel: Yes. Everyone talks about how Müller always finds space, right? He’s famous for being in the right position – always free, drawing players, creating room for others. You see that on TV.
But when you’re there in person, and you hear him – it’s something else. He talks constantly. And it’s not just noise – it’s useful, clear, team-first instructions: “Move there,” “Do that,” “I’m here.” Even when he’s sprinting at full speed, he’s talking. Every moment.
Sofascore: When did you first notice that?
Schmeichel: It really hit me in 2020 – during the COVID Champions League in Portugal. Remember when they played the rest of the tournament in Lisbon? I watched all their games. No fans, two stadiums, everything echoing – and Müller stood out in every match. He was everywhere. Running, pressing, attacking… and helping everyone else while doing it.
He’s one of the best communicators I’ve ever come across.
Confidence, Mentality, and the Evolution of Modern Goalkeeping
Sofascore: Let’s move on to the final two categories: confidence and mental resilience.
Schmeichel: I’ve got to go with Neuer again. I’m crazy about Neuer. I think he’s done so much for goalkeeping. He’s taken it to a completely different level. Today, most goalkeepers are expected to pass the ball – it’s a basic requirement now. But he doesn’t just pass. He’ll take the ball with his right foot, chip it over a pressing attacker with his left, and land it right at Kimmich’s feet.
Sofascore: That’s outrageous for someone his size.
Schmeichel: Exactly. For such a tall guy, that’s so impressive.
Sofascore: What about leadership?
Schmeichel: There are a lot of really strong leaders. I already mentioned Dino Zoff – he was a captain. Neuer is a captain too. But how do you define leadership for a goalkeeper? It’s not always about shouting instructions. It’s also about leading by example. Edvin – sorry, Edwin van der Sar – was a great leader too. Very different in style, but incredibly effective. So for this one, I’ll go with both: Neuer and van der Sar.
Sofascore: Let’s move on to a different type of game – a quiz called Take a Guess. It’s something we do with all our guests. You’ll get three clues for each answer, and you have to guess the final answer. It could be a teammate, an opponent, or even a tournament.
Schmeichel: All right. Let’s see how I do.
Take a Guess: Penalty Saves, European Glory, and the Story of Euro ’92
Sofascore: Here’s your first clue. Your highest-ever Sofascore rating was 8.6. In that match, you made seven saves inside the box. Can you guess the game?
Schmeichel: Newcastle?
Sofascore: Nope.
Schmeichel: Wait… is it the European Championship final?
Sofascore: Yes! Actually the whole Euro ’92. That’s the correct answer.
Schmeichel: Thought so.
Sofascore: Here’s clue number two – a list of penalty saves from your career. You saved against Deco…
Schmeichel: Too easy. That was in Porto.
Sofascore: …Dennis Bergkamp?
Schmeichel: FA Cup semi-final.
Sofascore: Thomas Müller?
Schmeichel: Frankfurt, 1990.
Sofascore: And Marco van Basten – who was voted Ballon d’Or winner for the third time in 1992.
Schmeichel: You know, when I think about that save now, what makes it so special is something I only learned a couple of months ago. In Van Basten’s book, he talks about that penalty. Normally, he’d look at the goalkeeper and wait. But against me… he didn’t.
That’s exactly what I was trying to achieve. In penalty shootouts, I wanted it to feel random – for both me and the taker. I didn’t want to know who was coming up. I already made up my mind on how I’d act. It helped me feel in control. I didn’t want to think, “This is Van Basten, the Ballon d’Or winner.” To me, he was just the second penalty taker. And now, knowing that he changed his routine because of me – that makes me incredibly proud.
Sofascore: That whole tournament was so unexpected. Yugoslavia had qualified, but then everything changed. Denmark came in and… ended up winning it. How did that feel?
Schmeichel: It’s something I’ve talked about a lot, and it never gets easier. It was sad. We didn’t qualify directly because of internal issues – with the federation, the coaching staff, the first few games. One of those matches was against Yugoslavia in Copenhagen. We had so much unrest.
The media were on our backs. The pressure was immense. The coach left. They brought someone else in. Then finally gave the job to Richard Møller Nielsen – but only because they had no other option. It was chaos. We drew against Northern Ireland, lost to Yugoslavia, and then everything suddenly turned.
We won the rest of our qualifiers. We beat Yugoslavia in Belgrade. So, we kind of felt we deserved to be at the Euros – even if we didn’t qualify in the traditional way.
Sofascore: And then came the call-up…
Schmeichel: Exactly. The Danish league had just ended. All of us playing abroad were mentally switched off. We were ready for holiday. I was done. We had a friendly against Russia in ten days, and honestly, none of us wanted to join the camp. We came in, ran a bit, went home. It didn’t feel serious.
Then rumors started about Yugoslavia being excluded. We didn’t want that. Honestly – why would we? Not for the country, not for the team. It was already a difficult situation.
But then it happened. Suddenly, we were going to the Euros. Coach Nielsen said right from the beginning: “This isn’t about you. It’s about the people of Yugoslavia too. Go there and do your best. Don’t embarrass yourself.”
Sofascore: And you drew with England in the first game?
Schmeichel: Yes. 0-0. That gave us confidence. Then we lost to Sweden. Then we had to beat France to reach the semis – and we did. After that, it became a completely different adventure.
We were based in a Swedish town called Osby. We literally took over Yugoslavia’s prep hotel. Their team had already been there. It was hard. You’re excited to play a major tournament, but the context made it emotionally complicated.
So when we won it… it felt like we had done it with Yugoslavia. Not against them. We never stopped talking about it. We never forgot what led to that moment. And we never will.
Sofascore: You’ve had incredible success at club level too. Can you compare the two?
Schmeichel: Totally different worlds. When you’re a great player, you’ll get picked for big clubs – and there’s an expectation to win trophies. With national teams, it’s different. You only have the players who share your passport. That’s it.
Sometimes, you’re lucky to be part of a golden generation. Other times, great players are stuck in weaker squads. So to achieve something like that, for Denmark, it will live forever.
We dominate in handball – we’re three-time world champions, Olympic champions, European champions. But that happens every year. Football isn’t like that. And most people love football. It’s the national sport. So to have taken part in something that special, under those circumstances, means everything.
“Alex Ferguson Was Like a Father to Me”
Sofascore: Let’s go back to the quiz. First clue – this man scored 171 goals in his career, but only four of them at international level.
Schmeichel: Wait… so he played 317 games for his club and scored in more than half of them? But only four international games and four goals? That’s an incredible stat. I’m drawing a blank. That’s clue number one?
Sofascore: Yes. Want to take a wild guess?
Schmeichel: I’ve got nothing. That stat is so unusual it’s bugging me. Go ahead – clue number two.
Sofascore: This man once said about you when asked if Peter Schmeichel was the best goalkeeper: “Oh yes, no question about it. I always thought he was the best – especially when you’re a goal down in the second half. You could take risks because you knew the big man was on his toes at the back.”
Schmeichel: Oh really? Who said that?
Sofascore: That’s your next clue.
Schmeichel: Hmm… that has to be Sir Alex Ferguson.
Sofascore: Correct.
Schmeichel: Now the stats make sense. He played for Rangers and St. Mirren but only four times for Scotland. I should have got that earlier!
Sofascore: The third clue was just going to show you lifting the Champions League trophy with him in 1999. But since we’re here – can you describe your relationship with Sir Alex?
Schmeichel: He was like a father to me – and I say that with no insult to my actual father. He just had that kind of presence in my life.
We first crossed paths in 1990. United had a tough FA Cup game coming up against Hereford United, and because it was winter, Ferguson took the team for warm weather training in Marbella. I was with Brøndby at the time, also in preseason, staying in the same hotel.
He’d already heard about me. Now, this is his version of the story – he says he hid behind a bush to watch me train because United had pitch priority. He says he stayed and watched this tall Dane diving around and not conceding goals.
Sofascore: He scouted you in secret?
Schmeichel: Pretty much. He sent his goalkeeping coach, Alan Hodgkinson, to see me 13 times – I had no idea. After the first session, he told Ferguson: “You’ve got to sign this kid.”
Ferguson was shocked I was already 26. “Where has he been?” he said. But Brøndby didn’t want to let me go – especially with a new coach, Morten Olsen, and our good results in Europe.
So my dream move fell through. I was angry. Bitter. That was all I’d ever wanted – to play for Manchester United. I made a decision right then: I’m going to be so good, they have to come back for me next summer.
Sofascore: And did they?
Schmeichel: They did. Shortly after the season started, I got a call from my agent’s assistant. He told me to come over to his house after training – nothing unusual. But when I got there, Alex Ferguson was waiting.
He’d flown in that morning. He said, “I’m as disappointed as you are, but I’ve seen what I need to see. I’m coming back for you next summer. Make sure you stay fit, play well, and keep progressing.”
He shook my hand and left.
Sofascore: That must have stayed with you.
Schmeichel: Every day. Every brutal training session, I had those words in my head. Whenever it got too hard, I thought: If I quit now, I’ll never get that move. I gave everything – and when I got to Manchester United, it all made sense. He was perfect for me.
Sofascore: Perfect in what way?
Schmeichel: Ferguson was demanding – relentlessly demanding. He had rough edges. But that suited me. I needed that standard, that pressure. We’re friends now. We text. We talk on the phone.
We were in the same hotel for the Europa League final not long ago. We spent four hours just talking after the game. He still calls me from time to time. Honestly, he’s the most perfect person I could have ever met in football. That relationship still continues.
Sofascore: How do you think he’s dealing with the current situation at Manchester United?
Schmeichel: He’s heartbroken – that’s my feeling. I won’t speak on his behalf, but he built everything the club stands for. And now he’s watching it slowly unravel. It must be painful.
He came in during a difficult time in 1986 – not as bad as the mid-’70s, but still unstable. And now it feels a bit like that again. I don’t think we’re at risk of relegation, but the problems are deep and complex. You can’t just let 10 players go and bring 10 in. It takes time.
Sofascore: Do you believe in Rúben Amorim to rebuild?
Schmeichel: Yes. What makes me feel okay about Amorim is his ability to communicate. Maybe he’s a bit too honest sometimes, but that’s how it works in Portugal. If you’re not explaining your thinking, the media turns on you fast.
He’ll learn how to manage that better over time. But his leadership and communication – I like all of that. I think we’re in good hands.
He’s done a rebuild before. He knows what it takes. I’d rather have someone like him, who understands how bad things can get, than someone new who’s starting from scratch.
Alan Shearer, Rivalry, and Missed Opportunities at Man United
Sofascore: We’ve got another quiz clue for you. It says here that this player is the most frequent opponent you played in your career. You played in 22 games on the opposite sides of the pitch. You had 11 clean sheets against his team, but he did manage to score 7 goals to you.
Schmeichel: Alan Shearer.
Sofascore: Correct! It could only be him.
Schmeichel: Or Robbie Fowler – but yeah, Shearer makes sense.
Sofascore: The giveaway clue was his celebration. But let’s talk about Alan. For the younger fans out there. Was Shearer the one opponent who made you nervous?
Schmeichel: No. And that was very deliberate. I never wanted to “humanize” my opponents. Not during penalties, not during matches. Because at the level I played, you’re always facing the best players in the world.
World Cups, European Championships – you’ll face the likes of Ronaldo. So what do you do? Think, “Oh no, it’s him”? No. You have to make yourself equal.
By not putting a name or status to them in your mind, you create equality. I’m here because I’m good. He’s here because he’s good. That’s it.
Sofascore: How good was he?
Schmeichel: He was an amazing player. If I have one regret when it comes to Alan Shearer, it’s that he turned down Manchester United – twice. With his ability to score in so many different ways, I think we would have been even better with him in the team.
He wasn’t just one type of striker. He could do it all – tap-ins, headers from corners, volleys, long-range shots. Most high-scoring strikers rack up their goals inside the box. Shearer could score from anywhere.
Sofascore: Would he have made United even stronger in Europe?
Schmeichel: I believe so. With Shearer in the team, I think we would have cracked Europe earlier than we eventually did. Because when you have someone who can’t stop scoring – and it’s not a cliché – goals change games.
Sofascore: But he chose to stay at Newcastle.
Schmeichel: Yes, and I never understood that – not back then. Why wouldn’t you want to come to Manchester United in a period when we were winning everything? With the kind of quality we had, Shearer would have won everything too.
But I do understand it now. Newcastle is a very special place. It’s far from everything – up in the northeast, one-club city. Everyone there supports Newcastle. There’s a charm to it. Kids grow up seeing the stadium and dreaming of playing there. That matters. It gives meaning to staying.
Like Manchester, you have so many clubs in Manchester. Of course United is the biggest one. The same goes for Liverpool. London as well, Birmingham as well.
So yes, I understand why Shearer wanted that. It was his boyhood dream. And from a personal level, it makes sense. But as a teammate? I would have loved to have seen him in a United shirt. I think he would have been fantastic for us. With him, we might have cracked Europe even earlier.
Inside the Dressing Room: Beckham, Yorke, Neville & More
Sofascore: Now we’re in front of our special board – time to describe your ex-teammates using a few tags. First up: Gary Neville.
Schmeichel: Gary… definitely not a candy lover. Not the best dresser either. He might be the worst. But I’m not gonna put this here, he might say that title belongs to me! But he’s
definitely “100% professional’’. And ‘’never satisfied’’. But that’s a good thing. He is ‘’The captain’’ as well. He wasn’t that while I was playing but you knew he was gonna get there.. And “the loud one.” That one fits perfectly.
Sofascore: Under your influence maybe?
Schmeichel: Under everyone’s influence. And when you look at him and see ‘’The best hairstyle’’ – yeah, I’m not gonna put this there.
Sofascore: Next up – this one’s going to be interesting. One of your ex-teammates also – Roy Keane.
Schmeichel: Yeah, I had a feeling who was coming next. So let’s say ‘’always angry’’. But he was also ‘’The Leader’’. And “brave heart.” as well. And I think, that’s about it, definitely not the ‘’gossip king’’
Sofascore: What kind of a relationship did you have with him?
Schmeichel: To be honest, I didn’t have much of a relationship with him. We were from different parts of the world, and lived in different areas. He was someone who kept to himself.
Sofascore: In a good way or a bad way?
Schmeichel: Just different. In a good way. But that’s where I have to go back to Sir Alex Ferguson. He didn’t care if players were best friends. He cared about personality. About having players who would step up when it really mattered – and he was absolutely one of them. That’s what Ferguson built into the dressing room. And it worked.
Sofascore: Let’s move to someone from your Manchester City days – Nicolas Anelka.
Schmeichel: Oh, the one thing that pops into my head immediately – “always late.” Always.
He was also probably “the best dresser.” But always, always late. For home games, we’d meet in the dressing room just 90 minutes before kickoff. That’s quite late already. But at City, that was the routine.
At United, we met three hours before. Due to where Old Trafford is, because of traffic, you couldn’t do 90 minutes before at Old Trafford – it was impossible. But at City, he’d sometimes show up signing autographs on his way in. Annoying, to be honest. Because the team talk wouldn’t start until everyone was there.
Sofascore: Was he social?
Schmeichel: Not really. He was quiet. Mostly spoke to players who knew French. He didn’t seem very comfortable – not unhappy, just not settled. But a fantastic player. He scored in his debut against us in the Charity Shield. You have to be a great player to do that.
Sofascore: Did you expect more from his career?
Schmeichel: He had a great career, but maybe people expected more because he moved around a lot. That’s not easy. When you’re constantly changing clubs, it’s hard to become the focal point. If you don’t settle quickly – and you’re a big-name signing – the pressure can build. But still, he had a very good career.
Sofascore: Okay, last one – David Beckham!
Schmeichel: Of course! “Best hairstyle.” That’s a given.
But also… I’m going to add “100% professional.”. And ‘’loves free kicks, but…’’
Sofacore: Yeah, but he was good, right?
Schmeichel: And I’m gonna put this here, which could seem weird. But he was ‘’The Leader’’. And not in the traditional sense. You know, a leader isn’t always the guy who stands up in front of everyone and shouts, “We’re doing this, we’re doing that.” A leader can also be someone who simply shows on the pitch what needs to be done – leading by action.
With Beckham, every set piece felt like a genuine scoring chance. Not quite a penalty, but close. His delivery was so precise that even if the opposition knew exactly where it was going, it was still almost impossible to defend against.
And when you are attacking with that kind of thing, if you knew where his crosses were landing, you could make your runs early. If you ask for example Ruud van Nistelrooy who the best player he ever played with was, they’ll tell you immediately: Beckham. If you ask Andy Cole or Dwight Yorke, they’ll tell you the same.
Of course, he had talent, but more importantly, he worked on it every single day. Free kicks, corners, set pieces – always practicing. For us defenders, training against that quality daily made us so much better. That’s leadership. Not loud speeches – just showing everyone the way.
Sofascore: And pairing him with Gary Neville?
Schmeichel: Exactly. They were best friends, and on the pitch, they complemented each other perfectly. Gary’s strengths covered Beckham’s weaker points, and vice versa. They created space for each other – Gary’s runs gave Beckham that extra half-yard to cross.
He was a fantastic player. I don’t think people truly realize how good he was. They see the icon, the celebrity, the fashion. But as a footballer? Unbelievable.
Sofascore: In my personal opinion, one of the most underrated players – even though he was always among the best. The glamour overshadowed how good he actually was.
Schmeichel: People see this – ‘’The best hairstyle’’ and ‘’perfume lover’’. Let’s remove that. He was a fantastic player!
Sofascore: And Ferguson managed him well, right?
Schmeichel: That’s the genius of Sir Alex. Beckham’s lifestyle was completely out of sync with what Ferguson wanted from his players. Normally, Ferguson didn’t allow that kind of thing at all. But Beckham never gave him a reason to intervene – he delivered in training, he delivered in games. Always.
If Gary Neville had tried to live like Beckham, Ferguson would’ve shut it down immediately. Same with Giggs. But with Beckham, he let it go because Beckham always produced. That’s great management.
Dwight Yorke: The Final Piece of the Puzzle
Sofascore: Okay, let’s have some fun with the board again. Who was the party animal? The jokester?
Schmeichel: Let’s make a quiz for you. 100% professional, the leader, the loud one, brave heart, party animal, jokester. And I will give you a hint, he would start every game in the best 11.
Sofascore: I’m gonna go with Dwight Yorke.
Schmeichel: That’s it. Dwight arrived with this big smile, and straight away he changed the whole dressing room. He brought energy, happiness, and a bit of fun. He was single, so yes – he was always out at night in Manchester. But not drinking or doing stupid things. Just out socializing, recharging in his own way.
And then he’d show up, train hard, and deliver in matches. In his first season – the treble season – he scored 32 goals. Important goals, too. That’s not someone goofing off, that’s someone completely professional.
Sofascore: And what about the partnership with Andy Cole?
Schmeichel: Magical. Andy Cole was already a fantastic striker — underrated in many ways. Dwight just made him better. And Andy made Dwight better.
The stepover, the little flicks, the through-the-legs pass… none of that was rehearsed. It just happened naturally. They had this instinctive connection.
We’d tried to sign Patrick Kluivert before, because Ferguson wanted someone to make us stronger in Europe. But then Dwight arrived, late in the transfer window, and he was the final piece of the jigsaw. Without him, I don’t think we’d have won the treble.
He didn’t do it alone, of course, but he was the missing piece that tied it all together.
Yes, he was a “party animal,” but he was also one of the most professional guys around. And like I said about David Beckham. The manager didn’t like that lifestyle, but Dwight gave everything in training and in games. So Ferguson allowed it. Same principle as with Beckham – as long as you delivered, you had that freedom.
And like I’ve said before, some players need that balance. Take that part of his life away, and maybe you lose the part that made him brilliant on the pitch. But he never drank, didn’t smoke. That was just his way of recharging. Other players watched TV, he went out. That was his balance.
Who’s Next
Sofascore: All right, time for the last part of the interview. This section is called Who’s Next? You’ve had fun, right?
Schmeichel: Absolutely. I’ve had a great time.
Sofascore: Then you get to nominate someone. A teammate, an opponent, even family.
Schmeichel: Well, with the history he has with Croatia and the matches he’s played here, I think my son would be perfect for this chair.
Sofascore: Really? Will you connect us?
Schmeichel: Of course. Count on it.
Sofascore: Thank you, Peter. It’s been a real pleasure having you – again – on A Guest and a Half. Enjoy the Sunset Festival!
Schmeichel: Thanks! I’ve been here before, so I know what it’s like. Looking forward to it. And thanks again.
