Denmark is making its debut in the Euro 2020 tournament with Christian Eriksen as the main attraction. Three years ago, during the last Eurocup, Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at the start of a match against Finland. Thanks to the quick intervention of medical services and the implantation of a defibrillator, Eriksen was able to continue his career nine months later.
Eriksen, who is now 32 years old, was part of the Danish team that played in the 2022 World Cup and continues to be a key player for coach Kasper Hjulmand. Despite the initial defeat against Finland in the last Eurocup, Denmark reached the semifinals, where they lost to England 2-1 in extra time.
The incident with Eriksen brought the team closer together, and they are now ready to face England again in the Euro 2020 tournament. Denmark will also be competing against Serbia in Group C of the tournament.
Eriksen expressed his excitement about returning to the field and focusing on positive things. He mentioned that playing more than one match is already an improvement for him, and his main goal was to recover his level of play. Despite everything that has happened in the past three years, Eriksen is looking forward to playing football and is eager to make a positive impact on the team.
It is clear that Denmark’s journey in the Euro 2020 tournament will be one to watch, especially with Eriksen’s resilience and determination to continue playing at the highest level. The team’s unity and strong performance in the last Eurocup indicate that they are ready to face any challenges that come their way in this tournament. Denmark’s match against Slovenia will be a true test of their strength and determination as they aim to make a mark in the competition.
