Leicester City legend ‘victim of witch hunt’ – Insistence it’s ‘impossible to meet expectations’ at current club
Kasper Schmeichel, Leicester City legend, has been facing difficulties at Anderlecht since joining the Belgian side at the start of the season. Criticism of the goalkeeper’s performance has been so intense that some are now considering it to be excessive. A story in DH today highlights this issue, with former Anderlecht goalkeepers invited to share their opinions on the situation. Jacky Muranon pointed out that Schmeichel should not be blamed for the goal he conceded, attributing it instead to the lax defense. Filip De Wilde supported this, claiming that Schmeichel is unfairly targeted by critics and almost has to play perfectly to avoid criticism. Since joining Anderlecht, Schmeichel has made 14 starts, conceding 15 goals and keeping two clean sheets. Despite the challenges, the goalkeeper continues to be a key player for the club.
