Denmark captain Simon Kjaer was one of the heroes who helped save the life of Christian Eriksen, who collapsed in the 42nd minute as his team faced Finland. The former Sevilla player helped with first aid until the medical team managed to revive the Inter player and then treated a relative to reassure her in such a bitter moment.
Fortunately everything was a shock. Christian Eriksen is still under observation but his condition is stable. The Danish national team and Inter Milan player gave the scare of the day at the Eurocup by collapsing during the match between Denmark and Finland in the Danish capital. The quick action of the medical services allowed the player to be revived on the pitch itself and for the player to leave him already conscious. An image that reassured the world, which for a few minutes remained frozen.
The miracle of Christian Eriksen had many protagonists. One of them was Simon Kjaer, captain of the Danish team. He was one of the first teammates to come running to see what happened to Eriksen, who collapsed on the sidelines. Kjaer, a Milan player and former Sevilla player, put him in the right position and prevented him from swallowing his tongue, offered him first aid in a few vital seconds until Morten Boesen, doctor of the Danish team, and another doctor performed the cardiac massage and stabilize it.
Kjaer and his teammates showed an admirable attitude. Everyone formed a circle to cover Christian Eriksen while he was being treated, to ensure his privacy. Many could not hold back the tears at the drama that was being experienced. The captain remained calm and was able to tuck in and reassure Eriksen’s partner, who jumped onto the field overwhelmed by the situation.
In short, a series of precise actions that prevented a misfortune. Christian Eriksen continues to recover and will undergo further tests. The player himself tried to reassure his teammates with a message from the hospital and encouraged them to continue playing. Everything was a scare, thanks to the actions of the doctors, their colleagues and the resources they had when it happened on a professional soccer field.
