What a wonderful story. Christian, so lucky to have Brentford supporters!
At Brentford Community Stadium, Christian Eriksen received a standing ovation. It was an amazing moment, something I felt privileged to be a part of. Great to have you back, Eriksen! Looking forward to seeing you on the pitch again soon. It's great to have you in the Premier League again.
I fear for the guy tbh.. But respect to the guys at Brentford, Thomas Frank and Matthew Benham for giving him a chance even if it is at least in a ‘let’s see and decide’ basis. It’s hard for the club to commit when a player has a pace maker that needs to be turned off when he’s on the pitch. I’m not a doctor but who knows what kind of risk the club and Eriksen is putting himself into.
I understand what the player is going through and what this might mean to him.
But at the same time, I absolutely do not agree with this because this seems to be almost suicidal.
And I honestly cannot decide if this is bravery or stupidity. This involves a huge amount of risk for the player. But I have to say that this man is something else. He prioritized football over his own health, this is not something that should be done but this is actually amazing.
