Euro | It took only 1100 days from collapse to goal. But Eriksson was disappointed with the draw

It has been 1,100 days since Denmark’s horrific match against Finland in Copenhagen. In the film, Eriksson collapses with heart failure, and doctors work behind his paralyzed teammates to revive the skilled midfielder. Everything goes well. Eriksson is fitted with a cardioverter-defibrillator and starts playing again after eight months at Brentford. From there he goes to Manchester United.

Now he is in the European Championship, and he played in the first game against Slovenia. Not only did he stand out in the 17th minute goal, but after Jonas Wind’s long shot and elegant extension in the penalty area, he chested the ball and sent it into the post.

“It was great to score a goal. He made me very happy. I know I haven’t scored at the Euros yet. But the most important thing is that I helped the team. Also, it was great to have so many Danish fans there,” said Eriksen.

The 32-year-old midfielder controlled the game for Denmark, played the standard game accurately and was a leader. His entire three-year expedition looked like a fairy tale, but there was not a completely happy ending. The Danes lost the lead after a dull second half.

“It’s a terrible feeling. It’s always annoying when you’re leading, thinking about winning, and then lose points at the end. We didn’t have that much energy in the second half, but the opponent did. But we had a point and the game was on the line. We have to build on that,” Eriksson pointed out.

He and his team will now take on England on Thursday (June 20) before taking on Serbia on Tuesday (June 25).
