Christian Eriksen was the star of the duel between Denmark and Finland after collapsing in the 42nd minute of the game. His fall forced the match to be suspended, while the dramatic images with his teammates around him followed one another. UEFA’s television performance, in those two minutes that the Danish midfielder was lying on the field, was questionable at best.
The television, far from putting images of the stands or of another place that was not the site of the incident in the foreground, tried by all means to search for the face of the struck footballer. UEFA, far from respecting the privacy of a footballer, worried about being above the morbidity of a situation that aroused much criticism on social networks . Not surprisingly, his companions surrounded him in tears, covering up any type of image.
The television production did not stop focusing on the area where Eriksen was lying while the doctors did their work in a decision with little taste. For example, in MotoGP, when a serious accident occurs, you focus on the public, the track in general, or take a distant shot to respect the person involved. No attempt is made to focus on the victim of a crash. Social media reflected that outrage.
Let’s remember that UEFA has direct orders not to take out spontaneous on television. Directly short realization. Zero tolerance with that. Of course, a man struggling between life and death, close-up for minutes.

The UEFA performance that focused on Eriksen collapsed and his family crying should be released without thinking

UEFA’s initial realization on the Eriksen crash is BOCHORNOSO and tremendously UNNECESSARY.

Shameful accomplishment of UEFA. The images that have passed of him on the ground and seeing how his teammates have had to get in a circle to cover him are incredible
