Mads Hermansen - The Secret TRANSFER to the Premier League Champions... Oct 17, 2024

Show notes

On this week's episode of the Fozcast, we’re joined by current Premier League and Leicester City goalkeeper, it’s Mads Hermansen! Mads joined Leicester in 2023 and played under Enzo Maresca in the Championship, Mads suited Maresca’s playing style from playing out from the back and even acting as another defender at times! In this ep, Mads talks to us about what it was like to train under Maresca and how life in the top-flight is treating him! We also take a look on his early career in Denmark how he wasn’t always a GK which explains why his skills playing out from the back are so prominent...

Furthermore, we also look at his time with the national team and how he is learning from Kasper Schmeichel and all the other experienced pros around him. Let’s hope he can get his very first cap soon...

A massive thank you to Mads for coming on the Fozcast and the best of luck for the rest of the season!
