DBasia.news – It’s been a few months since Euro 2020 took place in 2021, so many memories from the tournament that ended with Italy’s success as champions. One of the highlights of the tournament was Christian Eriksen.
A terrible and worrying incident occurred when Eriksen collapsed and had fainted in the group match between Denmark and Finland. After getting help quickly from colleagues, the team captain, to the medical team, Eriksen realized and his life was saved.
Since the incident, Eriksen has only been practicing lightly to keep his body in shape, even though he has an assistive device installed in his heart. Eriksen did not want to retire even though he was advised to hang up his shoes because of his condition.
Inter Milan could not help but terminate his contract because the rules of football in Italy do not allow players to play with assistive devices in the body. Eriksen (29 years) does not want to retire and has even made it clear that he wants to appear at the 2022 World Cup.
His agent, Martin Schoots, continues to look for a new club for the former Ajax Amsterdam and Tottenham Hotspur player. Finally, Brentford was willing to accommodate Eriksen on a six-month contract.
“It’s official, confirmed. Christian Eriksen is back, here we go! Brentford completed the transfer of Eriksen on a six-month contract with an option to extend until June 2023. He wants to play football again and now it’s official. The best news from the transfer market so far,” explained Fabrizio Romano. .
The Role of Thomas Frank
Seeing Eriksen playing football again is good news and he is playing in the world’s competitive league, the Premier League which is no stranger to him. Thomas Frank, the Danish manager of Brentford, played an important role in convincing Eriksen to come to his club.
“I’m looking forward to working with Christian again. It’s been a long time since I last coached him, and a lot has happened since then,” said Frank, who previously worked with Eriksen in the Denmark youth team.
“Christian was 16 at the time and has become one of the best midfield players to have featured in the Premier League. He has also won trophies across Europe and became the star of the Danish national team.”
“We have taken an extraordinary opportunity to bring a World Class player to Brentford. He hasn’t trained with the team for seven months but has done a lot of work on his own.”
“He’s fit but we need to get him fit and I’m looking forward to seeing him work with the players and staff to get back to his highest level.”
In tip-top shape, Eriksen is Europe’s top attacking midfielder who can set the pace of play. It was hoped Frank could help Brentford survive relegation this season.
“At his best, Christian has the ability to dictate the game of football. He can find the right pass and is a goal threat.”
“He can also send the ball in very good set-piece situations, both from corners and direct free-kicks. He is a player you can find with the ball, and he will provide solutions to the problems in front of him.”
“Christian will also bring his top-level football experience to the club. I hope he makes an impact in the dressing room and on the training ground.”
