Christian Eriksen He said he expects a “special” return with the selection of Denmark to the stadium Park from Copenhagen on Tuesday and wants to give fans a new memory of the place where he suffered a near-fatal heart attack at last year’s European Championship.
The 30-year-old playmaker, who collapsed on the pitch and received life-saving treatment during Denmark’s meeting with Finland in June 2021, will play in the Danes’ friendly against Serbia. “I think it’s something you can’t prepare for,” Eriksen told reporters Monday when asked about the reception he expected.
Eriksen returned to the Denmark squad on Saturday and scored early after coming off the bench at the Johan Cruyff Arena before the Netherlands won 4-2.
“The reception in the Netherlands was very big and my expectation is that it will be even bigger here. This is the place where it happened and people will see it,” said Eriksen. “Afterwards, people will talk about it, as if everything is back to normal. They will have a new memory. It will be special and I look forward to it.”
Eriksen, who had a device fitted to regulate his heart and ended up signing for the club with Premier League side Brentford after failing to play in Serie A, said after the Netherlands game that he was pleased to show he could still play. .
