Father and son surprised the panel with an unexpected comment that’s now sparking speculation about an old rivalry
During a live CBS Sports broadcast following Celtic’s match, Peter and Kasper Schmeichel brought up an unexpected topic that immediately set off speculation.
“Where’s Micah? We have a problem with Micah,” they asked the studio directly, according to the Daily Mail. The panel immediately grew curious, with host Kate Scott encouraging the father-son duo to elaborate.
The Schmeichels kept the details under wraps, with Peter promising the matter would be addressed when Richards returns to the studio. Scott began shouting about a fight, while Jamie Carragher joked he’d put his money on Kasper Schmeichel in a match against Richards.

Tension from City Days
The mysterious issue might have roots in Kasper and Richards’ shared time at Manchester City. Jamie Carragher previously revealed there was rivalry between the two in the club’s youth academy.
Carragher also claimed that Richards had influence when Joe Hart was chosen as City’s first-choice goalkeeper ahead of Kasper under Sven-Göran Eriksson.
Kasper himself offered a humorous glimpse into their youth: “Micah was so annoying at school. We went to school together but never got anything done because of him.”

The Mystery Remains
While the exact nature of the “problem” with Richards remained unclear, it was evident the Schmeichel family enjoyed teasing their former City colleague.
Richards, who wasn’t present in the studio, became an unexpected topic of conversation during a broadcast that was otherwise focused on Kasper Schmeichel’s on-field performance.
The playful jab provided viewers with a fun, informal moment. Perhaps next time, they’ll reveal what’s really behind it all.
