On Saturday night, Eriksen said he was happy to have made a successful return to an Amsterdam stadium where he played with Ajax at the start of his career, but acknowledged that returning to the Danish capital would be even stronger.

"It's going to be even more special. Today was a bit of a warm-up for Tuesday, where I'm going to have to run where it happened," he told Danish channel Kanal 5.

Applauded by the entire Amsterdam stadium - and even the referee - on Saturday evening, the red and white playmaker scored just two minutes after entering the friendly against the Netherlands, completely eclipsing the Danish defeat (4-2 ).

"I didn't expect him to be so good so quickly. He ran loose, but gave the game rhythm. He showed a lot of calm," Kasper Hjulmand said on Sunday morning.

"I enjoy watching him play," he told Danish media, adding that he would start the game against Serbia on Tuesday.

For the first time since his dramatic heart attack in the middle of a European Championship match in June 2021 in Copenhagen against Finland, Christian Eriksen will therefore tread the lawn of the Parken national stadium again, where he suddenly collapsed inanimate. .

"If we had written a film script for the return of Christian Eriksen to the national team, this would have been the one", greeted the daily BT on Sunday.

"We had barely counted to 100, before the number 10 put the ball in the back of the net for this sensational comeback".

A few centimeters away, a splendid strike on the post could have made a dream second goal, noted TV2 television.
