Millwall head coach Neil Harris recently shared his thoughts on Lukas Jensen’s performance since joining the team, expressing his desire to help the young goalkeeper reach the next level in his career. The Lions acquired Jensen from Lincoln City during the summer transfer window, following the tragic passing of Matija Sarkic.
Jensen, who had an impressive record of 19 clean sheets for Lincoln City last season, was also a target for Charlton before Millwall secured his services. The 25-year-old Danish goalkeeper, who previously played for Burnley, has already kept five clean sheets since joining Millwall, with three of them coming in the last four Championship matches.
Harris emphasized the importance of guiding young players like Jensen, highlighting the need for consistency and the right mentality to succeed at a club like Millwall. He pointed out that while Jensen has experience with over 100 games under his belt, he is still in the early stages of his career with the Lions.
Drawing on his close relationships with former Millwall goalkeepers and goalkeeping coaches, Harris mentioned his role in mentoring Jensen on the mental aspects of the game. He stressed the significance of making the right decisions at crucial moments during matches, regardless of the timing.
Harris’s focus on helping Jensen grow and develop as a player goes beyond technical skills, as he aims to instill a strong Millwall mentality in the young goalkeeper. By sharing his knowledge and experience, Harris believes he can support Jensen in making sound decisions and maintaining consistency on the pitch.
The head coach’s dedication to guiding and nurturing young talents like Jensen reflects his commitment to building a solid and competitive Millwall team. With a strong support system in place, including experienced players like Hutchinson, Saville, Leonard, and Cooper, Harris is determined to help Jensen reach his full potential as a goalkeeper.
As Jensen continues to impress with his technical abilities, Harris remains focused on sharpening the young goalkeeper’s mental sharpness and decision-making skills. By providing guidance and mentorship, Harris hopes to see Jensen thrive and excel in his role as Millwall’s goalkeeper, contributing to the team’s success on the pitch.
