Alleged change of mind
With clear criticism, the OGC Nice has pointed out a “L’Equipe“report responds, according to which goalkeeper Kaspar Schmeichel (35), who was only committed in the summer, could be gone again in January. The French were particularly bothered by the fact that the Dane was put in a bad light because he allegedly wanted to overturn team rules. President Jean-Pierre Rivère said in a statement on the club website interview published by “Amazon Prime” that he was “shocked”. A departure of Schmeichel is not an issue.
“It takes time to adjust sometimes, he was at Leicester for ten years. It’s a different world, a different universe,” Rivère explained about Schmeichel’s alleged difficulties in adapting, who, according to the “L’Équipe” report, tried to redesign processes and rules and also couldn’t cope with the high playing style of coach Lucien Favre. 23-year-old Marcin Bulka has also been given priority in goal several times this season.
Rivère emphasized: “We have common rules, Kasper adheres to these rules. He is not a player who will change anything about it. ”So it is also a mystery to the club boss why a change is even an issue. As far as sport is concerned, it is “Favre who chooses who plays. We don’t interfere in the decisions.” Rivère doesn’t understand “how you can say all that about a player. We’re here to support him, he’s part of the squad and I’m convinced he’ll bring everything he has to the team.” The newspaper report was “far from reality”.
