A beautiful letter from Inter for Christian Eriksen, who returned home yesterday, in his Odense, after the implantation of a defibrillator following cardiac arrest in the match between Denmark and Finland at Euro2020. This is what the Nerazzurri club published on its website: “These were not normal days, those we counted from Saturday, from those moments that seemed so long and meaningless to us, from what we wanted it to be just a bad dream. Luckily, from nightmares, even the ugliest, we wake up. In the respectful silence of these days we have condensed all our thoughts, our prayers, even our sighs: those of relief, for the photos and communications arrived from a place that up to some yesterday we didn’t know, the Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen. Tuesday morning the best moment: a photo, a smile, a thumbs up. And a liberating message: “Hello everyone, thank you very much for your messages from all over the world. They mean a lot to me and my family. I’m fine. “Here he is, Christian Eriksen. Friday another step: the operation, the resignation and the visit to his international teammates: ‘It was incredible to see the amount of messages you gave me. The operation went well and consider the circumstances are fine. It was great to see my teammates again after the great game played last night, obviously I will cheer for them on Monday against Russia. “We did not stop for even a moment to dedicate our thoughts to Christian, respecting in silence such a delicate and personal moment. At the same time, however, the expressions of affection were many, beautiful, spontaneous. While Saturday in Copenhagen the match between Denmark and Finland restarted, Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi took the field with Belgium and Morocco , dedicating their goals to Eriksen.
That ‘Chris, I love you’ shouted by Romelu to the cameras is a message that has bounced everywhere. Tributes that have touched all corners of the world, up to South Korea, to the goals of Son Heung-min, Christian’s partner at the time of Tottenham. The shivers of fear have turned into relief these days. And in emotion: the huge number 10 shirt shown before Denmark-Belgium, in that same stadium on Saturday. The game stopped at 10 minutes, the general applause of fans and players on the pitch, including Romelu Lukaku. The banners, the shirts shown by the fans, the national teams all dedicated a thought to our number 24. All moments that make up the strongest and most heartfelt embrace for Christian Eriksen. Come on Chris, Inter and all Inter fans are with you! “.
