Denmark coach Hjulmand has again spoken of the tremendous shock and drama that followed Eriksen's collapse against Finland, and has hinted at some pressure from UEFA to play since it was suspended.
“It was a mistake to have continued playing”That's how forceful Kasper Hjulmand, the Danish coach, was about the game against Finland in which Eriksen fainted and had to be treated by medical services. The coach charged this Tuesday at a press conference against UEFA:
Decision: “The only real leadership would have been to put the players on a bus and send them home and then deal with the situation. I think it was not the right decision (to play the game) looking back, I don't feel good about us coming back to the field after the incident. “
Postponement: “With covid cases it is possible to postpone a game for 48 hours, but not because of cardiac arrest. I think that's wrong. Sometimes good leadership is carried out through compassion.”
