Christian Eriksen has been and remains a huge football player, that’s for sure, but the script he has been providing us with over the past year is already entirely material worth winning an Oscar. The Danish midfielder, who only in the last Euro collapsed on the grass in the Denmark national team uniform, recorded tonight (Saturday to Sunday) his return appearance in the national uniform in a friendly match against the Netherlands that won 2: 4, and what a return it was.
Arcisen came off the bench with the start of the second half with the result being 1: 3 to the Dutch, and in just three minutes on the pitch, in the 48th minute, he had already scored in his renewed debut, shrinking to 3: 2 and continuing his sensational and exciting return to a game he loves so much .
As you may recall, last January Eriksen signed for Brentford from the Premier League after releasing his contract with Italian champions Inter. The reason for his departure was that in the country the boot is not allowed to play with a pacemaker. Now, having already cooked in the English uniform, he is back to scoring goals in the international arena.
The Netherlands went up to 0: 1 already in the 16th minute from a goal by Steven Brahwin, but only four minutes later they absorbed the Danish equalizer, which was scored by Yannick Vestur. The Oranges were not thrilled and went up to a two-goal advantage thanks to goals from Nathan Aka (29) and Memphis Defay Shadeik from Pendel (38). As mentioned, Eriksen’s goal did not help his team to come back and equalize, as Luis van Gaal’s team said the last word with Brahwin who completed a double and gave the Netherlands a respectable victory.
