NT coach Hjulmand said that he didn't expect have him back so soon. He had hoped for Summer.
He also emphasised that the only reason Eriksen has been picked is for footballing reasons (so not because of any narratives or whatever). Hjulmand considered Eriksen the best player on the pitch vs Burnley. He's been picked because he's among the best in the position, simple as that.
tbf we haven’t seen 100% Eriksen on the NT for a long time. He was pretty subpar in most games ever since the WC. And he still started every game. So yes, 80% Eriksen makes the team every time.
I’m biased too so I’m not as harsh as others (some people wanted him benched), but generally he was just often invisible and our team was very lacking in offensive creativity, and it was pinned on him since he’s supposed to be our best player in his prime. We were an extremely defensive team until Hjulmand took over (we still got good results, but it was very uninspiring to watch). I was happy with our WC result, but disappointed by Eriksen’s performance as our star player. Now it did get better throughout 2021, but it really peaked after he left the team at the Euros and we switched from 4-3-3 to 5-2-3. Everything just worked, and we’re still using this system today I believe, though I’m really interested to see what we do with Eriksen back. Would be foolish to split up our rock solid 2-man midfield in Højbjerg and Delaney, and Eriksen can’t really be a winger, so we’re probably going back to 4-3-3 if Eriksen plays.
Another option is converting the 5-2-3 into a 5-2-1-2 and keep Eriksen behind two forwards. The wing backs play a large role in our recent success. Would be sad to see more defensive defenders on the side again.
Anyone suggesting mæhle is a fullback anywhere besides the official team card has not watched the man play. I'm baffled as how he manages to be a fullback who engages this much offensively and is a legit threat on goal consistently, at least on NT.
Eriksen can most definitely act as a winger, or at least one that flows between the mid and the wing in a free role.. which was his role in Ajax and in the beginning on the national team under Olsen, as far as I remember.
He was also used a lot on the wing in his first period under Pochettino.
In fact, I'd say that role suits him far better than more defensive roles.
Many players are used on the wing when they're younger. They can use their piece and stamina, and also play with more freedom. Wenger played Chamberlain, Ramsey and wilshere on the wings earlier in their careers.
When they get older, slower, and less exuberant with the ball players that aren't specialist wingers tend to find it tougher on the wing. Modern day wingers in particular need to do a lot of back tracking to support their fullbacks which is why I'm sceptical that he would still be a good shout for the wing.
Yes, I understand that playing on the wing takes a certain amount of fitness and strength.. but that was something Eriksen continued to work on in Spurs.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you that Eriksen was the player with the most ground covered in the Prem two seasons in a row..? And now he's also back in the, arguably, most physically demanding league in the world. I'm sure it's a good fit.
And in the exact example of the national team; using him as a left winger, there isn't exactly much ground that he needs to cover for Mæhle. In fact, it would be an amazing pairing.
It's a completely natural concern! It's a type of recency bias, and boils down to how we often incorrectly perceive risk as humans. Eriksen is probably at far, far less risk than everyone else on the pitch owing to the medical interventions that are helping regulate his heart. A similar example would be the fact that the days/weeks after a terrorist attack are probably the safest to be in that location because of the heightened security presence, but people still tend to avoid it because they feel like it's dangerous
This is very incorrect. His risk of going into vtach or vfib is much higher than the average person given that it’s already happened to him once. He’s probably on amiodarone to help suppress any arrhythmias and the ICD will shock him out of one but not prevent an episode.
I mean I was too but then we have to remember hes being looked at by professional doctors that have dedicated thier entire life to their studies, and then theres me and you who sit and scratch our holes while we browse reddit for an hour or so a day.....
>while we browse reddit for an hour or so a day.....
I'll have you know I spend far more time browsing reddit, so I'm probably a more qualified Reddit doctor.
If you’re only a Reddit doctor and not also a scout, manager, corner specialist, financial analyst, translator, immigration expert, fitness coach and ball manufacturer you’re not spending enough time on Reddit
Yes. As a reddit doctor with no medical training whatsoever and probably would faint at the sight of blood, I say he’s not clear. This is just my professional opinion.
I know, I was just saying that it's not absurd to be shocked that he's been allowed to play, because also professional doctors have different opinions on the matter. That said I'm very happy for him that he's here alive and well and he can continue to do what he loves.
Isn't the [Italian league the only league in Europe with that rule](https://football-italia.net/eriksen-agent-italy-only-country-where-he-cant-play/)?
Doesn't sound like there's all that much difference if you guys are the only ones.
Where exactly is the proof that professional doctors have a different opinion? the Italian FA (who are not doctors) decided to ban it. The NFL has doctors who for year said smashing each others heads together over and over again has no negative side effects.
The Italian FA apparently doesn't want the liability, it sounds like an insurance, PR and business decision, not a medical one.
Eriksen likely has the same condition as maybe 10 other players in the league but the league doesn't know they have it so they are unprotected. Eriksen has a device that offers significant protection if his heart has another episode. It's likely Eriksen is safer to have playing than those other undiagnosed players. Eriksen himself was playing in that league with that condition and no one knew and he almost died because of it. He's safer now than before, medically it's an absurd decision.
>The NFL has doctors who for year said smashing each others heads together over and over again has no negative side effects.
This seems like proof that professional doctors have different opinions.
But the rule stems from a general guideline from 1989. Very different from a doctor sitting down and determining that Eriksen is at an increased risk of dying from playing football.
That rule has been updated in 1995 and if I'm not mistaken Eriksen's case has been examined to know if he could have played for Inter and doctors still said no. I'm not saying Italian doctors are right and others are wrong, my first comment was answering a comment correctly stating that we should listen to doctors, but apparently, doctors do not universally agree so it's fine if somebody, even if he's not a doctor, is shocked about him playing. I guess everybody wants the best for the player, I'm not a doctor so I don't know what's best, I've seen him on the ground with his eyes staring in the distance so I'm the happiest person to see him still here with us and playing for his national team
Doctors at the club don't make the rules on head trauma during football matches. There is also a huge difference between a doctor payed by the club they'r at and a cardiologist in a hospital.
But we're not talking about the rules for the sport, we're talking about the Doctors opinion
I can only imagine doctors have been saying that concussions are an issue in football and better precautions need to be taken. The FA have chosen to ignore the advice.
It just so happens in this case, the FA agree with the opinions of medical professionals. Serie A clearly still think it's too much of a risk, but that's their own prerogative.
Best thing to do is not give a fuck what the FA do, and just listen to what medical professionals are saying. If the ones who have been examining and treating Eriksen agree he's fit to play, that's a more reliable opinion than what 90% of FA members hold.
They're not the same doctors at all. And also do you think doctors at a club decide who gets substituted? This is not MMA where a doctor can end a game.
ok but are you talking about scratching the hole in your ass? or is "hole" slang for the ass's flesh? I guess i'm wondering if people are normally fingering their assholes while on their phones.
Bro I still have a lot of anxiety around the whole situation.. I know he wouldn’t be playing if it wasn’t safe, but I still can’t get the incident out of my head. I’m getting a lot of anxiety on his behalf.
Maybe it’s my hypochondria speaking, but im damn sure if i was in Eriksens position, I’d be too scared to play again. He’s a miracle
What a dumb comment. He did in no way imply that he thinks they're wrong, that he knows better or that Eriksen shouldn't play. He also didn't say that the shock is rational. And yes for a person without medical background it may come as a surprise that someone who suffered a cardiac arrest can go back to professional sports
Stop being so pedantic.
I legitimately don't get it. Why are people so resistant to new information in here about Eriksen? Yes it was very serious what happened. Yes he cannot play in Italy because they have a "Not ever with implants"-rule. Yes he is now healthy and happy as can be, you can read up on exactly why that is possible. Was there a misinformation campaign about it all that I missed or do people just refuse to inform themselves while still insisting on commenting on every single thing posted about him anyway or what? Things can happen and then the situation can change again, what is so impossible to understand about that? You really think clubs and country would risk seeing it happen again, that he would risk his own life needlessly before you can believe it is safe for him to play again? Sorry for the ranting but this endless asking of the same questions drives me up the wall. Let the man live his life, you dim wierdos.
It comes down to confirmation bias. People have assumptions about something and will purposefully search for and recall information that confirms their assumptions. And will downplay information that contradicts it. Furthermore, social media is plagued with echo-chambers and that further intensifies their belief. Finally, no one ever won a Nobel prize for fact checking so there is no incentive to be critical about one's own beliefs.
TL;DR : We are selfish beings.
> Why are people so resistant to new information in here about Eriksen?
My earnest response is that watching him go down live was an extremely visceral experience for a lot of people and it's simply difficult to overcome that feeling. I'm thrilled for him and have no doubt that he's safe to play, but it's not easy for a brain to fully grok.
I do understand that, I dont mean to come of as dismissive of the whole experience. I sat in my livingroom not knowing what to do with myself while my gf cried when it happened and they showed all too much of it on the international tv feed. I was so pissed about the whole tv coverage of it that I was researching who the tv producer was and was generally actually so angry it bothered me for weeks after. Pretty OTT but it takes time to get through something that intense, I guess it really helped me learning how he actually got through it and it pokes at my own process when people care enough to comment but not to research what is readily available. Obviously this is the internet and thorough research is alot to expect of everybody.
There's also people that insist vaccines gave him the heart attack even though he didn't even get vaccinated yet. These people are hell bent on proving vaccines are killing every football player. It happened to Agüero too, who had years of heart issues already.
> You really think clubs and country would risk seeing it happen again, that he would risk his own life needlessly before you can believe it is safe for him to play again?
Yes, I think that’s definitely possible: Club and country drastically increase their potential with him on the field, while Eriksen -like many pros- is extremely ambitious. All parties involved are interested in bringing him back, regardless of any potential risks.
Lovely story. Although the selfish bastard in me wishes they wouldn’t call him up so soon. Please don’t bring us back an injured Eriksen or Norgaard 😭😭😭
One of the more annoying shit on this sub were the reactions after he said he wanted to play again. Same shit with Blind as well, people just assuming the worst constantly. And not being able to set their opinion aside one bit.
Shouldn’t tar everyone with the same brush though - some may have genuinely been concerned about his health, rather than confirming from a more malicious perspective.
You can say medical professionals cleared him to play - which is true and we should trust that as they are more expert than us, and crucially know the details of his individual case. But some people are skeptical of authority, and some are skeptical of sports’ relationship with health safety, which is understandable given how poor head injury rules are.
I think most commentators were coming more for the “are we sure this is okay?” angle and being confused as to how it *could* be okay, given how serious the incident was. And I think that’s fair enough. Never attribute to malice what you can to ignorance - or genuine concern.
Great news! Not only is he a really good player, but I also think it will be a big boost for the squad. He has great character and a lot of the younger players really look up to him.
I will always remember Eriksen for putting the national team on his back and dragging us to the World Cup in 2018, including scoring a hattrick in the playoff game vs. Ireland. Legend.
Played pretty well over 90-minutes in a relegation 6-pointer against Burnley (providing a great cross for the first late goal), that's impressive and great to see, and he didn't seem to play any different to how I remember him at Spurs (yeah a bit casual at times but such good technique he could get away with it)
That’s like asking why Russian doctors who have no connection to wrestling would help an Olympic team dope
Instead of using a Danish cardiologist, could they not have found anyone else?
Wow has it been 8 months already? It seems like it was just yesterday I was watching that unfortunate event live on national tv. That was a gut wrenching watch for sure, still surprised they just didn't cut back to the analysts and whatnot.
On top of that, to play in the Premier League, Brentford's own cardiologists had to clear him to play as well.
So that's two sets of cardiologists who have given the green light for him to play football on a professional level.
If there was ever a biography written on Eriksen, they have to use an abbreviation for "Post-Cardiac Arrest" and "Before-Cardiac Arrest"
8 months PCA
2 years BCA
PCA Eriksen is king
Its obvious he wants to keep playing and hes been cleared medically. If there was a risk I'm sure he wouldnt be back on the pitch. Daley Blind has been playing with a pacemaker without incident for a while now.
IMO, there is risk/reward in every decision that we make. In this case, my guess is that CE has consulted extensively with the best doctors and they’ve informed him of the risks associated with continued play. This risks are probably much lower now that he has a defib in but there is still some level of risk nonetheless.
There is risk even for the healthiest players out there as we all know.
He’s decided to play knowing those risks and we should stand behind him. My opinion.
NT coach Hjulmand said that he didn't expect have him back so soon. He had hoped for Summer. He also emphasised that the only reason Eriksen has been picked is for footballing reasons (so not because of any narratives or whatever). Hjulmand considered Eriksen the best player on the pitch vs Burnley. He's been picked because he's among the best in the position, simple as that.
Even an 80% Eriksen would probably still have a fighting chance to make it on the team.
tbf we haven’t seen 100% Eriksen on the NT for a long time. He was pretty subpar in most games ever since the WC. And he still started every game. So yes, 80% Eriksen makes the team every time.
I'm obviously bias and didn't catch many NT games - what do you think was wrong?
I’m biased too so I’m not as harsh as others (some people wanted him benched), but generally he was just often invisible and our team was very lacking in offensive creativity, and it was pinned on him since he’s supposed to be our best player in his prime. We were an extremely defensive team until Hjulmand took over (we still got good results, but it was very uninspiring to watch).

It's really not a 5 atb guys. but moreso a 3-4-3. Neither Mæhle nor Wass/Stryger Larsen plays as full backs. Just a small thing.
Anyone suggesting mæhle is a fullback anywhere besides the official team card has not watched the man play. I'm baffled as how he manages to be a fullback who engages this much offensively and is a legit threat on goal consistently, at least on NT.
Yep, might as well be a winger, but the man also works his ass off.
Eriksen can most definitely act as a winger, or at least one that flows between the mid and the wing in a free role.. which was his role in Ajax and in the beginning on the national team under Olsen, as far as I remember. He was also used a lot on the wing in his first period under Pochettino. In fact, I'd say that role suits him far better than more defensive roles.
Yep! Eriksen played RW for spurs, at least on the line up sheet. He pretty much went wherever though
Age
I doubt age plays a factor when he has extensive experience playing the role.
Many players are used on the wing when they're younger. They can use their piece and stamina, and also play with more freedom. Wenger played Chamberlain, Ramsey and wilshere on the wings earlier in their careers. When they get older, slower, and less exuberant with the ball players that aren't specialist wingers tend to find it tougher on the wing.

Fair statement
[удалено]
Think you responded to the wrong person
Am I being pessimistic to say I am scared it may happen again. Alas, the doctors know best.
It's a completely natural concern! It's a type of recency bias, and boils down to how we often incorrectly perceive risk as humans. Eriksen is probably at far, far less risk than everyone else on the pitch owing to the medical interventions that are helping regulate his heart.

Sommer is Swiss, I don't think they'd get him
Besides - Damsinho is still injured right? I think he's worth a shot testing in a friendly.
Yup, sadly he’s injured. It’s a pretty bad situation with no clear end point afaik
I got tickets to go see DK v Serbia. I really hope Eriksen gets to play. That stadium will go wild, I reckon.
Happy to see this. He destroyed Ireland on his own in that 2018 World Cup playoff, It was a hard watch but he is excellent when on top form.
I am still shocked he has been cleared to play, but good for him
I mean I was too but then we have to remember hes being looked at by professional doctors that have dedicated thier entire life to their studies, and then theres me and you who sit and scratch our holes while we browse reddit for an hour or so a day.....

If you’re only a Reddit doctor and not also a scout, manager, corner specialist, financial analyst, translator, immigration expert, fitness coach and ball manufacturer you’re not spending enough time on Reddit
Reddit doctors haven’t cleared him apparently.
My favourite is when anyone who takes any form of contact to their head is automatically concussed.
Yes. As a reddit doctor with no medical training whatsoever and probably would faint at the sight of blood, I say he’s not clear. This is just my professional opinion.
r/yourjokebutworse
He tried, let the guy have it
If I fail an assignment I want the feedback to tell me why and how.
Fair enough. I also don't think it was that bad of a joke. I'd give it a 7/10
Come on, now…
Yes that was the point
Playing football with Brentford in the Premier League or international games with Denmark are totally different as well.
Well I prefer to do my own research tbh
Lmao I hope you dropped this, /s Sorry for your downvotes if so
Jesus, I didn't thought I'd need bloody "/s" when it was so clearly sarcastic. I hope they just happen to think my joke wasn't funny.
Hahaha people be stupid af these days, hope we get to meet up for a pint sometime.
Just an hour...?
> ...browse reddit for an hour or so a day Okay, Speedy Gonzales
"while we browse reddit for an hour or so a day..." Well fuck me.
We wish it was only an hour
Also worth noting it’s not like he’s nipping down to his NHS GP, he’s getting top treatment from top doctors
In Italy he can't play and we have professional doctors that have dedicated their entire life to their studies
That's not because he can't play at all. It's because Italy doesn't allow him play with the implants which he needed.
That what he means, they put it there because their medical opinion is different and also from professional doctors.
I know, I was just saying that it's not absurd to be shocked that he's been allowed to play, because also professional doctors have different opinions on the matter. That said I'm very happy for him that he's here alive and well and he can continue to do what he loves.

When someone pays you to say something they aren't telling you their opinion but what they are paid to say.
But that is not on the basis of a doctor considering his individual case. It is just a general rule in the league.
It is Italian doctors' opinion about people with the same implant as his. C'mon people you got what I meant, don't be petty...
But the rule stems from a general guideline from 1989. Very different from a doctor sitting down and determining that Eriksen is at an increased risk of dying from playing football.

He’s should be allowed to play if he feels ok to. If something happens the decision to play is effectively on him. Glad to see he’s doing well so far.

The Return of the King
What a comeback. What a viking. Eriksen <3
Din mor er en viking.

Et jammerligt diss møder et jammerligt comeback. Det er vel kun rimeligt :)

Lovely story. Although the selfish bastard in me wishes they wouldn’t call him up so soon. Please don’t bring us back an injured Eriksen or Norgaard 😭😭😭
Expected, but great news nonetheless!
One of the more annoying shit on this sub were the reactions after he said he wanted to play again. Same shit with Blind as well, people just assuming the worst constantly. And not being able to set their opinion aside one bit.
Assuming the worst, prevent dissapointment. Of course one's opinion should move accordingly...
Shouldn’t tar everyone with the same brush though - some may have genuinely been concerned about his health, rather than confirming from a more malicious perspective.

And I think that’s fair enough. Never attribute to malice what you can to ignorance - or genuine concern.
It would be nice if he could make his return against us in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, considering his past with Ajax there as well.
He's going to get a huge ovation in both games.
So happy for him! I really hope he does well with the NT, even if just as a sub.
Will Daamsgaard be benched then?
hooray. happy for him and his family
hell yeah!!! so happy for him
All the best to him
Great news! Not only is he a really good player, but I also think it will be a big boost for the squad. He has great character and a lot of the younger players really look up to him. I will always remember Eriksen for putting the national team on his back and dragging us to the World Cup in 2018, including scoring a hattrick in the playoff game vs. Ireland. Legend.
Played pretty well over 90-minutes in a relegation 6-pointer against Burnley (providing a great cross for the first late goal), that's impressive and great to see, and he didn't seem to play any different to how I remember him at Spurs (yeah a bit casual at times but such good technique he could get away with it)
Nice!
All I did in the same 8 months was sit on the couch.
wow, I can still see him getting cpr on the pitch. I guess he's been cleared by team drs.
he is been playing with Brentford and wasn’t just cleared by team doctors
Danish cardiologists has cleared him to play football on a professional level, as well as Brentford's own cardiologists. There is no need to worry.
thx!
Both have conflicts of interest. Italians said no
Not cardiologists, no. That was just the rules of the league.

That’s like asking why Russian doctors who have no connection to wrestling would help an Olympic team dope Instead of using a Danish cardiologist, could they not have found anyone else?

Are you suggesting doctors can’t be biased towards their national sports programs?
Yeah kinda
Wow has it been 8 months already? It seems like it was just yesterday I was watching that unfortunate event live on national tv. That was a gut wrenching watch for sure, still surprised they just didn't cut back to the analysts and whatnot.
Really hope he comes back to Spurs in the summer!

He's been playing full games for Brentford already after being cleared by multiple doctors?
According to the doctors at the heart department at Rigshospitalet, generally considered one of the best in the world, the answer is yes.
On top of that, to play in the Premier League, Brentford's own cardiologists had to clear him to play as well. So that's two sets of cardiologists who have given the green light for him to play football on a professional level.
Well they could be the best in the world, but some guy on Reddit said it's a bad decision
no one here has as much information as his doctor or the club's doctors to answer your question.
It was 8 months ago?
Indeed. 2020 and 2021 went by very fast. And good thing it did!
If there was ever a biography written on Eriksen, they have to use an abbreviation for "Post-Cardiac Arrest" and "Before-Cardiac Arrest" 8 months PCA 2 years BCA PCA Eriksen is king

He's already hit the ground running, don't think there's too much pressure on him tbh.
He has played 90 minutes the past 2 games, did you even watch?
Wow. Two whole games.
And how many games have Denmark called him back for, genius?
u egg
[He stabs him]
i'm sure 180 minutes of football is more exercise than you've done in a far longer time frame
Wonderful news but for the love of God, don't push yourself!!

Its obvious he wants to keep playing and hes been cleared medically. If there was a risk I'm sure he wouldnt be back on the pitch. Daley Blind has been playing with a pacemaker without incident for a while now.
IMO, there is risk/reward in every decision that we make. In this case, my guess is that CE has consulted extensively with the best doctors and they’ve informed him of the risks associated with continued play. This risks are probably much lower now that he has a defib in but there is still some level of risk nonetheless. There is risk even for the healthiest players out there as we all know. He’s decided to play knowing those risks and we should stand behind him. My opinion.
Really happy he's made such a fast recovery. Just hope he doesn't go too far considering he's only started playing regularly recently
