The confrontation between the national teams of Denmark and Finland will be remembered by many football enthusiasts for the rest of their lives. Holding their breath, the football world watched as one of the leaders of the Danish national team - Christian Eriksen - was revived on the green football pitch by medical personnel. After Christian Eriksen was taken to the hospital on a stretcher, fans of both countries united in chanting the footballer's name and surname, along with the entire football community, hoping that everything would end well. At the time when the world anxiously awaited news about the footballer's health, encouraging words could be heard in the team's locker room. After the match, where they had to acknowledge Finland's sensational victory, the head coach Kasper Hjulmand told the press: "Today's events reminded us all what is most important in life. I cannot properly express in words how proud I am of my team. In the locker room, they became pillars for each other and were not afraid to show their emotions. They decided not to make any decisions until we received information about Christian's health." "When we received the good news from the hospital, we had two choices. Play the same evening or tomorrow at 12:00. In our meeting with UEFA representatives, no one urged us to choose to continue the match the same evening. Our players decided they wanted to continue the game today. I believe it was the best decision to leave everything behind after yesterday," added the coach. Finland fans: "Christian" Denmark fans: "Eriksen" Fans still inside the stadium are chanting @ChrisEriksen8's name together. 🙏pic.twitter.com/djUgg4pS1Q
