FORMER Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel was forced to issue an apology after furiously confronting a ball boy during Denmark's Euro 2024 qualifier against San Marino on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Midway through the match, Schmeichel, 36, ran up to the young boy and berated him for not throwing the ball back quick enough.<\/p>\n

According to Danish newspaper Se og H\u00f8r, the goalkeeper allegedly said: "Give me the ball you f***ing p****!"<\/p>\n
When asked about the confrontation after the match, Danish outlet Bold.dk claims he said: "During the match, you say a lot of things.\u00a0That's part of it."<\/p>\n
Schmeichel took to Instagram to offer a formal apology the following day.<\/p>\n
He wrote: "In a heated moment I went over the line and used the wrong choice of words to a ball boy during the game yesterday.<\/p>\n
"As everyone knows, being a role model for children means everything to me, and I do everything to live up to that.<\/p>\n "Here I failed, and for that I am sorry and apologise."<\/p>\n Denmark went on to win the match 2-1 thanks to goals from Rasmus Hojlund and Yussuf Poulsen.<\/p>\n However, several players were left unhappy.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Denmark\u00a0captain Simon Kjaer claimed in his post-match interview that he overheard opposition players telling each other to "go for Hojlund's knees".<\/p>\n Hojlund then gave his take as he accused the San Marino players of carrying out a planned attack on him.<\/p>\n He said: "I feel they targeted me, as you can see at the end.<\/p>\n "I understand Italian and I could hear them saying that they had the idea to crush me.<\/p>\n "You can see from the images that he only had one idea in mind."<\/p>\n In response, San Marino defender Alessandro Tosi said: "That's not true.<\/p>\n "We only told him that he was not behaving properly.\u00a0What he did was not necessary. He is a very strong striker, but he was not fair at all.<\/p>\n "I haven't lost respect for him completely, but we expected better behaviour. His behaviour when celebrating was unacceptable."<\/p>\n<\/picture>PYLON PILE-UP <\/span><\/p>\n
