Friendly match – Netherlands – Denmark: Eriksen scores a goal for his return to selection

This is the beautiful story of this Saturday. All football fans would have liked it to happen like this, and it did. Nine months after his last selection in the Danish jersey and his cardiac arrest in the middle of the Euro group match against Finland (0-1), on June 12, Christian Eriksen returned to the national team against the Netherlands, Saturday.

A home goal for Eriksen

And what better way to celebrate than a goal on one of his first balls. Following a great collective action initiated after high pressing in the Dutch camp, Andreas Skov Olsen, well shifted on the right side, found Eriksen launched into the area, with a well-measured back ball. With his right foot, the Brentford playmaker dropped the leather in the opposite corner, to the delight of the Danish supporters and to the applause of the Oranje supporters.

A quarter of an hour from the end of the meeting, Eriksen was again illustrated by sending a magnificent shot curled on the left post of the Dutch cage. Former resident of Ajax, Eriksen evolved in a way at home at the Johan Cruyff Arena. He had also spoken physically with his former club before returning to the Premier League.
