The midfielder was substituted on his international debut after a dramatic summer evening in Copenhagen last summer. The No.10 Denmark was hailed by the players, coaches and fans.
1 minute 55 seconds, Eriksen beautifully reduced to 2-3 by pressing the ball into the crossbar from 13 to 14 metres. It happened from his first touch.
– It was “just fine”, I did. I know the stadium very well, so I know very well where it will be located, says Eriksen with a smile on Channel 5.
“It’s almost unbelievable,” writes the Danish Ekstra Bladet.
Eriksen equaled Michael Laudrup, the best footballer in the country’s history, with 37 goals for Denmark.
It is clear and distinctive that Eriksen’s qualities speak for themselves, Pierre-Emily Hojberg tells Channel 5.
– I am happy in the name of Christians and the team is back.

The comeback came 287 days after the agonizing moment on his lawn turf during the European Football Championship. Just before the end of the match against Finland, Eriksen collapsed Cardiac arrest in court. His life was saved through urgent medical attention.
A few days later, he underwent heart surgery and was discharged from Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen.
