Supervising doctor explains "how Eriksen came back to life"
The European Football Association doctor (Wifa), who supervised the Danish playmaker Christian Eriksen when he suffered a severe heart attack against Finland in the European Cup, touched on the "touching moment" when he realized that the player was still alive.
German Dr. Jens Kleinfeld explained how the player regained consciousness after several minutes of massage and an attempt to revive him. "After about 30 seconds, the player opened his eyes and was able to talk to me directly," he said.
"It was a very touching moment because in these emergency situations in daily life, the chances of success are very low," he added.
And the doctor revealed that he looked at the Inter player and said to him, 'Did you come back to us?', and Eriksen replied, 'Yes, I'm back among you, I'm still twenty-nine'.
"At that moment, I realized that his brain was not affected and that he was completely back to life," the doctor added.
Eriksen answered all the questions put to him in order to make sure that his brain was not damaged and he left the field fully conscious, but the doctor revealed that it took time to install the medical machine in order to take him to the hospital.
"I was 99 percent confident that his condition would be stable when he arrived at the hospital," the doctor added.
Eriksen, 29, suddenly fell to the ground when he was receiving the ball from a close throw in before the half-time of the match against Finland in Copenhagen, with his eyes wide.
His colleagues formed a circle around him, and some of them seemed to cry.
About ten minutes after his fall, when the result indicated a negative tie, the player was taken out on a stretcher in shocking scenes, accompanied by a medical device and the Denmark team players, who seemed to be greatly affected.
The match stopped for about an hour and a half before it was completed and ended with a surprise victory for Finland 1-0, and the latter was playing its first major tournament in its history.
Soon, Christian was transferred to the nearest hospital in the Danish capital, where he was given first aid and underwent further examinations before his health condition was reassured when the European Union issued a statement confirming that Christian's health condition was stable, while his country's federation revealed that he was "awake" after arriving at the airport. the hospital.
The player also reassured his fans in a post on his Instagram account on Tuesday, saying, "I'm fine despite the circumstances."
"I still have to do some tests in the hospital but I feel fine," he added, under a picture showing him smiling on his hospital bed.
