Schmeichel says Denmark are riding momentum into the World Cup

Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel says the national team are riding a wave of momentum and pride into the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.

The 35-year-old, who moved to French side Nice in the close season after a long spell at Leicester City, will participate in his second World Cup, hoping to improve on Denmark’s last-16 exit at Russia 2018.

“One thing I have learned about football throughout my career is that momentum is so important. And we have momentum,” Schmeichel told the Fifa website.

“We have been able to come together as a nation and as a team and create what we all have been dreaming of for so many years: a national side that we as a country are proud of.
