What did Eriksen say on his return to the Danish national team?

Coming off the bench in a friendly against the Netherlands, Christian Eriksen took only 3 minutes to get a goal for Denmark.

Although Eriksen’s goal was not enough to help Denmark make a surprise against the Netherlands. The match ended with a 4-2 victory for “Orange tornado”. However, this is a miracle for a player who was in danger of having to retire like him.

“It’s been fun to prove I can still play. It feels like I’ve never left the team. I’m a bit emotional when I return to Denmark, because I haven’t played for so long. I hardly miss any game. every game in the last 10 years, and Denmark is like my family,” Eriksen told Dutch TV after the friendly in Amsterdam.

After a cardiac arrest at EURO 2020, Eriksen escaped death, but the implantation of a defibrillator made him violate Serie A regulations, and agreed to leave Inter in December 2021. Italy is the only country that bans players from using defibrillators while playing. Eriksen’s career, therefore, was in danger of ending when he was only 29 years old. But in January 2022, Eriksen returned to the Premier League with a six-month contract with Brentford. In the new club shirt, Eriksen played three games, with a total of 218 minutes and contributed one assist. That performance is the premise for Eriksen to be called back to the national team this time.

In the next series of friendlies on March 29, Denmark returned to Parken’s home ground, playing a friendly with Serbia. The Netherlands remained in Amsterdam, receiving Germany.
