Eriksen has message for his Denmark teammates
    2021-06-15  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN had a simple message for his Denmark teammates when he spoke to them from the hospital for the first time following his collapse at the European Championship.

“He told us to look forward, and to look forward to the game on Thursday,” Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg said yesterday. “That meant a lot. ... It gave me a form of energy.”

Hojbjerg was one of three Denmark players — along with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and forward Martin Braithwaite — to talk to the media about Eriksen’s collapse.

The 29-year-old Eriksen suffered cardiac arrest during Saturday’s game against Finland and had to be resuscitated with a defibrillator. The Inter Milan midfielder remained in a Copenhagen hospital yesterday in stable condition.

Eriksen spoke to his teammates via video link Sunday, which all three of his teammates said was an important boost as they try to refocus on the Euro 2020 tournament. Denmark plays Belgium in Group B on Thursday after losing to Finland 1-0. “It gives you the feeling that it’s OK to move forward,” Hojbjerg said. “We really want to play on Thursday, to play for Christian and to play for everyone who has supported us.”

The team trained yesterday after the players were given Sunday off to process the incident. The Danish players have been widely praised at home for forming a circle around Eriksen to shield him from public view as the medical staff gave him CPR. Denmark’s team doctor said Sunday that Eriksen “was gone” before being resuscitated.
