On the 26th, Newcastle defeated Brentford 2-0 in the Premier League relegation battle. However, compared to the game, Eriksen came off the bench for Brentford to be more sensational.The Danish star, who almost died suddenly at last year's European Cup, finally returned to the pitch after 259 days.

Eriksen returns

On June 12 last year, Eriksen, who represented the Danish national team in the European Cup, suddenly fell to the ground without colliding with anyone in the group match against Finland. Fortunately, the captain Kjaer responded in time. Gold performed extracardiac pressure first aid for Erickson in one minute, and the 10-minute rescue by the on-site medical staff helped Erickson, whose heart stopped for a time, regained consciousness, and was then sent to the hospital for medical treatment to save his life.

Erickson later recalled that he had asked paramedics to take his football boots as a souvenir in the ambulance because he felt that he could no longer play football and no longer needed football boots.

However, a miracle happened in the end. After active treatment and the implantation of an automatic defibrillator in the heart, Erickson returned to normal state and rekindled the idea of ​​returning to the green field. However, it is impossible to return to his old club, Inter Milan. Since Serie A stipulates that players with implanted defibrillators are all banned from participating in the Italian professional league, Eriksen has terminated the contract with Inter Milan ahead of schedule.

In order to restore his fitness and form, Eriksson once trained with the Danish team Odense BK - this is his home team when he debuted and the starting point of his career. Since then, another team that Eriksen has played for lends a helping hand - the Dutch giants Ajax. After that, Eriksen came to Amsterdam to train with the Ajax youth team.

Join Brentford and return to the Premier League

On January 31 this year, the Premier League team Brentford announced that the 29-year-old Danish midfielder Eriksen joined the team on a free transfer and has signed a contract until the summer. According to cab사이트 reports, the contract comes with a one-year extension option.

Returning to the Premier League has always been Eriksson's dream. After all, the best period of his career was spent with Tottenham in the Premier League. His agent had previously admitted that returning to the Premier League was Eriksen's priority, "he thought. Go home." One of Brentford's strengths is that, like Tottenham, they are a London team.

In addition, Brentford's Danish coach Thomas Frank, who worked with Eriksen years ago, knows his abilities well. Eriksen was one of them when he coached the Denmark U17 youth team. In addition, Brentford also has as many as 8 Danish players including Norgaard, Jensen, Rasmussen and Zanka, many of whom are Eriksen's national team teammates.

Although Eriksen is Brentford's biggest star, although the team's recent record is poor and there is pressure to avoid relegation, it has been almost a month since joining, and Brentford has never arranged Eriksen in the official game. Go into battle.

Obviously, in order to ensure that there are no accidents, the club is quite cautious. For Eriksen, Brentford arranged two closed-door friendlies for Eriksen during the month to let him re-adjust to the rhythm of the football field. Rickson not only adapts easily, but also continuously contributes assists, showing his personal ability and experience on the field.

Played off the bench and returned to the game after 259 days

In this round of the Premier League, Brentford hosts Newcastle, which is a PK between relegation opponents. Before the game, fans around the world ushered in exciting news, Brentford coach Frank confirmed that Eriksen will be included in the squad.

In this round of games, Brentford showed courtesy to the team's biggest card: all kinds of banners welcoming Eriksen were everywhere, full of humanity. In fact, putting aside their feelings, Brentford does need Eriksen today, because they are only 3 points ahead of the bottom three Burnley but have played 3 more games, and the pressure to avoid relegation is quite large.

Finally, in the 52nd minute of the game, with Brentford trailing 0-2, Eriksen returned to the game after 259 days. Although it failed to help the team recover the defeat in the end, Eriksson bluntly said after the game that he can return is quite wonderful.

Frank didn't say much when I came on, I've been through the last few weeks. Talking to him every day, he just wished me luck and enjoyed the game. It was special from day one, the club took care of me, everyone was happy to help others, my family, my parents, my kids, my mother-in-law and some The doctors who have been taking care of me are here, and what they've been through is more difficult than what I've been through."
