Who does not remember came the dramatic event of Euro 2020, which took place already on the second day of the games when Christian Eriksen, the Danish midfielder collapsed on the lawn, lost consciousness and miraculously survived.
At that moment his friends surrounded him in order to hide the resuscitation operations that were being done on him on the pitch and created an image that became the hallmark of last summer.
Eriksen, who underwent CPR on the grass, was eventually transferred to the hospital while conscious, maintained media silence for the seven months since the tragic incident, but tonight (Tuesday) chose to break it, when interviewed by the Danish channel "DR".
It's been a while.
I hope this video explains how I feel towards all the messages, letters, mails, flowers, thoughts and everything else I've got!
Thank you for all the ❤️ pic.twitter.com/0uvmvsn5D8

"It's amazing that what happened to me affected a lot of people who felt they should make me and my family know this," the Danish actor said. "It amazes me how many people felt the need to write to me. I'll get flowers because I died for five minutes.

"It was unusual. I know people saw it and cried in the living room or anywhere else they were. I want to thank everyone. I said thank you to the doctors and my teammates I met, but I also want to thank everyone who cared, sent letters or flowers in Italy and Denmark. I thanked the people who encountered me on the street in Italy or Denmark, I received support from all over the world and it helped me get through this period. "
"My goal is to play in the World Cup in Qatar, that's the goal and the dream. I'm sure I can return because I do not feel physically different, I'm in peak shape, there is still time so until then I'm going to prove I'm at that level again. I also dream of returning to the team and playing in the park "Again. To prove that what happened was one-time and that it will not happen again. I want to prove that I moved on and that I can play for the team again."
Were we wrong?
