Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel talked to the media and he said that his position is one that constantly flirts with the pressure of making mistakes.

The 28-year-old has played in 18 games in his first year in the English Premier League after making a career in the Football League - actually he was included in the Football League team of the decade following his 100 clean sheets with Leicester and Notts County.

After keeping his second clean sheet of the season following a 2-0 win against Swansea on Saturday, Schmeichel said that goalkeepers "need to have a special mentality for the position.

"Goalkeeping is so mental you've got to be focused all the time. You come off the pitch drained in a different way to an outfield player. You'd probably be more mentally drained.", he said. "Everybody thinks it's about stopping shots and catching crosses but it's not. It's about being there for your team, providing a solid base, inspiring confidence for your defence, organising, and most of the play is with your feet these days."

"We look after each other because we know what it's like to stand between the posts and have that responsibility. Not a lot of people know the feeling.", he continued.

Schmeichel also talked about Leicester's chances of avoiding the relegation. The team is currently riding a three-game winning streak and even though they are still on the bottom three of the standings, they're only there due to goal difference to the weekend's game against Burnley appears to be a pivotal match for them.

"Taking points off anyone around you, when you're in our position, is obviously vital", he said. "It's one of those games where you can't let emotion take over. You've got to be in control."

Schmeichel carries somewhat of a heavy bag as he's the son of former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, easily one of the best keepers of the last century. Even though he might not reach the same status his father had, there's no question he's a very talented player and that keeps progressing game after game at England's top flight.
