It only took him two minutes to assert himself and shoot the connecting goal against the ropes. He shot the ball hard and high behind goalkeeper Mark Fleks in the 47th minute. So it became a dream comeback for the 30-year-old footballer in the ArenA.
Afterwards, a happy Eriksen appeared in front of the camera of the NOS† “I feel like a footballer again and I am very happy to be back.” The current Brentford player says he does not feel he has been away. “Mentally I’m still the same player and I can still do exactly the same.”
The fact that he was able to make his comeback in the ArenA was extra special for Eriksen. “I’ve had beautiful years here and luckily I still remember where that goal is,” laughed the Dane. “Although I would have liked to make two,” he concluded.

During the last European Championship, the shock was enormous, after Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest on the field and had to be resuscitated. In the meantime, the Dane who received a defibrillator is doing well again. It was already clear in advance that he would not start in the starting line-up, but in the second half he came within the lines.
