FOOTBALL: Kasper Schmeichel is considering leaving Nice after beeing booed by his own fans

Nice goal­keep­er Kasper Schme­ichel was booed by his own fans before the match against Nantes on Sun­day night.

The 35-year-old Dane left Leices­ter this sum­mer for France after more than a decade at King Pow­er Stadium.

But the first few months after his arrival were a nightmare.

And when his name was read out before the home game against Nantes, the goal­keep­er was booed by his own supporters.

Fans then applaud­ed sub­sti­tute goal­keep­er Marcin Burka.

Nice defend­ed one point with a penal­ty kick from Nico­la Pepe, who is on loan from Arse­nal, to draw (1–1).

Schme­ichel has played in 10 of Nice’s 12 Ligue 1 games this season.

How­ev­er, a report by L’E­quipe ear­li­er this month sug­gest­ed that Schme­ichel was already con­sid­er­ing leav­ing in the Jan­u­ary window.

At the club, he has been described as show­ing “a lack of pro­fes­sion­al­ism”, with his warm-up being too short and his iso­la­tion from the rest of the team dur­ing training.

There are also con­cerns about adapt­ing to Nice’s style of play.

At Leices­ter he was used to play­ing behind a deep­er defen­sive structure.

But Nice man­ag­er Lucien Favre wants to play at a high­er line and it is ques­tion­able whether Schme­ichel can cov­er that gap.

The Dan­ish goal­keep­er has had an epic 11 years at Leicester.

He made 479 appear­ances for the club, win­ning the Pre­mier League, FA Cup and Championship.

He also has 86 caps for the Dan­ish nation­al team, reached the semi-finals of last year’s Euro­pean Cham­pi­onship and won Den­mark’s Play­er of the Year award four times.
