Biography
The goalkeeper of the team of Denmark Casper Schmeyhech was pursued by the words: "Son of that very!". From ornamental years, the footballer tried to get out of the shadow of Peter Schmeyhel, who, by the way, is not even a cumier of his son - the goalkeeper admires the game of Eric Canton and Manuel Neuer. Casper joked that she hopes for years to be up to 40 to chase at the gate, and, perhaps, the fans will take him as a self-sufficient person. But today, on a number of achievements, he broke the records of his famous relative.Childhood and youth
Casper Peter Shmeyhel from Copenhagen, was born in November 1986. At 4 years, together with his family, he moved to England, where the father played under the contract. At the age of 7 he himself began to play football, but at first this sport was interested in a boy solely at the amateur level.
Even learning in a sports college, he went out on the field only in matches for the faculty. He started Casper from the position of the striker, and the place in the gate took the case due to the occasion when he replaced his father in the festive match dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Victory Denmark in the European Championships. Peter wanted to popinate the ball, Casper was sitting among the audience, but there was no spare goalkeeper.
The fact that the guy was doing at the gate led to the enthusiasm "Brondby" coach Lars Olsen, who immediately suggested the shmeyhel junior to start training. Then Peter supported the decision of Casper to accept the invitation from the Manchester City Academy.
Club Football
In professional football football, Casper repeated the father's biography - I had to wander through several clubs. Danish football player was leased to the teams of the second and third divisions, so far coaches and owners changed to Manchester City.Casper defended the colors of the Scottish Falking and Darlington, Welsh "Cardiff City" and "Coventry", saved "take" from departure from the second league. And all the same gaming practice was catastrophically, and for 7 seasons at the "citizens" - 8 exits on matches. Sitting on the bench, Casper said, do not study anything, and four hundred games for not God know what clubs is only a desire to practice.
Smeyhel said that the passion for the game was sometimes replaced by hatred of football. I had to speak out about the situation and the Star Father, who declared that "Man City" ruins his son's career and that he would agree to any division, just allowed to play. Therefore, Casper gladly responded to the invitation of Slane-Jaran Eriksson to Natts County.
In the oldest club, Golkaper received a contract for 4 years with a salary of € 1.4 million per year. But here the goalkeeper was not allowed to turn around. The club has changed the owner who simply did not pull the costs of shmeyhel, and the agreement was terminated in a year.
Then followed the season in Leeds, where the club management announced Shmeyhel, which does not want to work with him. And only in 2011, a transition to "Lester City" took place, at that time speaking in the second division of the championship of England - the championship. At the end of the first season, Schmeyhel won the title of the best team player.
Not without the help of the new Keper "Leicester City" in 2014 returned to the Higher League, and after 2 years and did the sensation created at all, won the first in his history in the English Premier League.
In the final match, the goalkeeper remembered the forward past, ran into the penalty area of the enemy and scored a head head. After that, the events began to happen that Casper finally got rid of the father's authority, also champion APL, and quite talented by itself.
The goalkeeper after the triumph admitted that he learned the lesson who presented the sports fortune. According to Casper, the important role was played by the fact that all his life before his eyes was the experience of the Father. And the example of perseverance and desire to bring the game to perfection was Paul Scholes, David Beckham and Eric Canton. Shmeyhel noted that the victory of Leicester Vitala in the air.
"We created a special atmosphere, a very close and stylish family at the head of the corner, which is quite rarely found in football."With this situation, when the club's management signs not players, but people who are infinitely trusted each other, it was impossible to win. Nevertheless, representatives of the famous family will not soon get rid of permanent comparison with each other. For example, experts believe that Schmeyhel junior, having smaller than the elder, dimensions (height 189 cm and weight 89 kg), more jumped and faster moves along the gate line.
If the skate of Peter was a good choice of position, and he caught the ball, just putting his legs and hands, then Casper rely on the saves. Saving jumps brought goalkeeper to hand injured in a match with Copenhagen as part of the Champions League.
In addition, Peter was remembered by unique charisma and the ability to manage comrades on the field. To this quality, Caspere should learn how to get out of their own penalties. However, as the personal dignity of the "lesterovtsy", observers celebrate the high-quality game of Casper's feet.
In the sports career of Casper Schmeyhel there were moments in which he, judging by the statistics, surpassed the Father. In 2017, he became the first gate of the Champions League, successfully reflecting the penalty and in the first, and in the second match opposition teams. Casper managed to check this with Seville.
The goalkeeper broke the Peter's record for the duration of the dry series in the matches of the Denmark national team: 571 minutes against Father's 470. The statistical resource of Whoscored.com assigned the Dane of the best goalkeeper of the 2018 English Premier League. In the same year, the maximum price of the player was recorded on the TransluderMakt website, which amounted to € 12 million.
Denmark national team
The SHMEHEL-SON did not immediately become the main goalkeeper in the Denmark national team, missed the European Championship of 2016 with the team and hardly dismissed the right to go to Russia. Casper promised that the "bones will fall" in order not to watch the Mundal on TV, and the Danes made their way through the butt matches in which the Irish won. Before traveling to the World Cup - 2018 to Moscow, the best result of the team at the World Championships remained to reach the quarterfinals and eighth place in 1998, when her gate defended the Schmeihel father.
The fact that both by the father and the son has a good reaction, clearly demonstrated a series of penalty at the World Cup 2018. In the 1/8 finals of Denmark and Croatia could not determine the best and added time. When it reached the post to the postmatch penalty, Casper was almost always intuitively guessing, in what an angle the rival will send the ball. The goalkeeper reflected the hit of the Croatian midfielder Luke Modric, and in the post-match series made another 2 saving savory.
In the final, as it turned out, the national team of Denmark on Mundial 2018 Casper Schmeyhel was recognized as the best player meeting.

For 11 years, the spouses lived a civil marriage. Wedding played in his hometown.Personal life does not prevent the goalkeeper's wife to raise professional skills. Over time, she graduated from coarse courses who help to keep pregnancy and supervise young mothers.
Together with his wife, Schmeikhel in 2012 created a charity foundation that helps women of African countries.
