Christian Eriksen shocked the whole planet after his collapse in the match of Denmark against Finland, for unknown (so far) reasons.
So there were many who started spreading conspiracy theories that the Inter player was affected by the coronavirus vaccine (and that he had done it the day before the match!), While others claimed that he had Covid and played normally. .
The general manager of “Neranjuri”, Giuseppe Marotta, put an end to these scenarios, who responded to these speculations by saying succinctly: “He did not have a coronavirus and he had not been vaccinated either”. At the same time, he stressed that the doctors of the hospital and the staff of the association have been in contact since the beginning of the incident.
“I'm fine”
The CEO of Inter also revealed that the 29-year-old footballer sent a message late last night that “he is fine” to the common team that Inter players have on Whatsapp.
“The players are very close to each other and we all contacted immediately when we saw these pictures. We did not want to be indiscreet, so we did not ask questions as he reassured us. “10 minutes ago, Eriksen sent a message to the players in our team and that proves the bond between them,” Marotta told Rai Sport last night.
Today, the Danish federation issued a statement on the condition of Christian Eriksen and the news is good news about the health of the 29-year-old midfielder.
The Danes announced that Eriksen's health condition is stable and he remains in the hospital for examinations, while he also contacted his teammates.
The Danish federation also announced in a statement that the teammates of the unfortunate Inter midfielder are receiving psychological support to manage the shock of yesterday's events after the collapse of the 29-year-old midfielder, while among other things he thanked simple and prominent people for his messages. are thousands for the player.
“Bomb”: Maybe he will not play in Italy again
Meanwhile, the statement of the chairman of the cardiology committee of the English federation and professor at St Georges University in London, Sanjay Sarma, that Eriksen will probably never play football again, is shocking.
The professor characteristically stated that the Danish midfielder “died for a few minutes, but came back” and adds that after such a health adventure no doctor would recommend him to continue his career in professional football.
According to a Daily Mail article, there is an Italian regulation that prohibits a footballer who has suffered a heart attack from playing again in a club in the country.
The cardiologist Dr. Scott Murray told the British tabloid: “There is a law in Italy that forbids athletes to continue their careers there if they have suffered a heart attack. They have been doing it for many years now and have managed to reduce the deaths of athletes from heart problems by less than 3% “.
“We were so lucky that the players on the pitch knew what to do and Eriksen did not drown until the medical team arrived,” the cardiologist added.
Martinez: “Many of our footballers cried in the locker room for Eriksen”
Belgium may have started their Euro commitments with the right hand, as they easily prevailed over Russia 3-0, but in everyone's mind was Christian Eriksen.
Roberto Martinez spoke about the atmosphere in the locker rooms of the Belgian National Team shortly before the match with Russia, as he mentioned that many of the players were crying.
“In the locker room the players were crying. It was very sad. We saw everything live five minutes before we left the pitch to prepare for the game. “You can imagine, the last thing we wanted was to talk about football.”
The great star of the Belgian National Team and Eriksen's teammate at Inter, Romelu Loukakou, also spoke about the hours of agony and how he lived them: “I cried before the match. I am very happy with the victory, but it was very difficult for me to play because I was thinking about Christian Eriksen. And I dedicate these two goals to him. We spend a lot of time together. “My thoughts are with his wife and children.”
When Loukakou scored Belgium's first goal, he went to the camera and shouted: “Chris, Chris, stay strong, I love you”.
A touching detail: The Danes hid Eriksen with flags given to them by Finnish fans
During yesterday's dramatic moments, when the doctors were trying to bring the Danish footballer back to life, his teammates formed a wall around him, protecting him from the greedy cannibalism of the media.
One detail that some may not have noticed is that they also used some sails given to them by the fans to protect the privacy of the 29-year-old.
In fact, they are Finnish flags given to them by the country's fans at the time.
In general, the fans on the field showed character: they watched in shock, but silently and with respect to the dramatic events. They also waited long enough on the pitch to hear news of Eriksen's health.
Emotional images followed inside the stadium with the Finnish fans giving courage to the Danes, shouting “Christian” and with the latter answering “Eriksen”. In the end, everyone burst into applause.
