Schmeichel and Sorensen's relationship has softened
Danish goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen spoke about his relationship with his national team teammate Peter Schmeichel. Sorensen said the legendary goalkeeper, who could be harsh and intimidating in training, has softened his approach over the years.
Peter Schmeichel is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers of his era. The Danish goalkeeper played a major role in his successful career at Manchester United and also in Denmark's triumph at the 1992 European Championship.
Thomas Sorensen later took over Schmeichel's number 1 shirt in the Denmark national team. The former Sunderland goalkeeper had the chance to train alongside the legendary name during this period.
Sorensen says that watching Schmeichel in training was very valuable to him. According to him, this allowed him to observe closely and gain a great deal of experience.
Sorensen notes that Schmeichel could at times be quite intimidating in training. He said Schmeichel could be strict and sometimes put him in his place, and recounted that on one day Schmeichel, who had been very friendly, did not even say hello to him the next day.
The relationship between the two goalkeepers is reported to have softened as they grew older.
