On Saturday, the football world was shaken by a terrible incident during the European Football Championship match between Denmark and Finland, when Christian Eriksen's heart stopped on the field. Fortunately, medics managed to revive him and the championship avoided a huge tragedy. It is obvious that such an event touched not only Denmark, but also other national team footballers. Netherlands defender Daley Blind revealed after the victory against Ukraine that after C. Eriksen's incident, he seriously considered not playing the first games.
The 31-year-old footballer better than anyone else knows what it means to lose consciousness during a match. D. Blind experienced this in 2019 during a UEFA Champions League match against "Valencia," and after the incident, the footballer was diagnosed with a heart condition, although fortunately he did not have to end his career as an "Ajax" player.
"I had to overcome a huge psychological barrier. I am glad that I managed to do it. Eriksen's misfortune touched all of us. I personally had been in a similar situation, so I reacted even more sensitively. The news that Christian is doing well gave us all more strength on and off the field. I want to ask everyone to give Eriksen as much privacy and peace now," said D. Blind after the match.
