Denmark continues its epic for Eriksen
In the photo, Christian Eriksen appears smiling.
Something to reassure all football fans for whom the emotion had been great when Christian Eriksen had remained inanimate for long minutes on the lawn during his team's first match in the competition against Finland (1-0 defeat).
There is no doubt that the smile will not have left the face of the Inter Milan player the rest of his day.
And for good reason: in the evening, his teammates continued their journey by qualifying for the semi-finals of the Euro thanks to their success against the Czech Republic (2-1).
The captain's tribute to Eriksen
"It's huge. It's crazy. We had a goal, when we came here: that is to come back to go to Wembley. But I would be lying to say that it leaves us insensitive all that," said the captain of Denmark, Simon Kjaer, at the end of this meeting, at the microphone of Danish television. Before very quickly alluding to his recovering ex-teammate: "That Christian is doing well means that we can continue to push. He knows that we are playing for him".
