Milan Circle
The British media "Guardian" announced the 2021 Footballer of the Year, the Danish national team captain and AC Milan defender Kyal was elected. In the past 2021, Kyr helped Milan to win the second place in Serie A, the Rossoneri returned to the Champions League after 7 years, and Kyal helped save the life of teammate Eriksen in the European Championship, and the Danish team, which had made a thrilling exit from the group stage, finally reached the final four of the European Championship.
At the National Team Hotel in Helsingør, Denmark, Kyal received the Guardian's Footballer of the Year trophy. On June 12, 2021, Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest in the Group Stage of the European Championship, and Kyar immediately ran to command the rescue, eventually helping Eriksen save his life. The Kyal teammates then formed a protective circle in the area where Eriksen fell to the ground and comforted Eriksen's wife. Kyal is the captain of the Danish national team, and he has led the team through an unimaginable test with extraordinary strength and composure.
Kyal was recognised in world football and finished 18th in the 2021 Ballon d'Or awards, while UEFA also awarded the Chairman's Award to The President's and Danish teams' medical teams. Keyar accepted the honour from The Guardian and said: "It is a collective honour that needs to be shared in the team and represents their highlights."
About the European Cup tour
"I'm grateful for all the compliments, I'm honored, but as I've often said, my reactions are normal and so will everyone," Keyar said. We were as a team and succeeded in that moment. ”
"Eriksen is our friend, not a colleague, but a friend. And everything we do is instinctive, and I don't think anyone can be mentally prepared for this kind of thing. I know, as far as I'm concerned, I can't do it all without my team around. On that day, everything had only one purpose, and that was for The safety of Erikson. ”
"We went on with the European Championship games and I had no idea what was going to happen, even though I knew I was supposed to play at the beginning, but I didn't know if I could play after that day. I don't know what I'm going to do, nobody knows, but I'm fine. So we enjoyed the game, the result doesn't matter, I can tell you 100% that the result doesn't matter. ”
"The fans, the pitch, the support and the feelings in the heart, I think that describes what happened to the Danish team all summer. I can only go back to the team and get support, trust and comfort in each other, and the bond between us is the only catalyst that gives us the opportunity to get back on the pitch. ”
"If we didn't qualify from the European Championship group, I would be perfectly receptive. After that, of course, I might look back and still have hope. I was still angry about that penalty in the semi-final and not making it to the final, but in the end it was secondary, football was already secondary to me, it wasn't as important as it used to be. ”
"When you've had this experience, you'll be with it for the rest of your life. You'll learn from it, learn from it, and maybe it'll make me play better than I used to. I let myself enjoy it, it gave me an easier and more focused approach, I love playing, I always love it, but I don't have a 10-year career and I will cherish the rest of my football career. ”
About his previous injury to the forte ligament of his left knee, he needed to be missing for six months
"Overall, it's just my leg injury, it's just that my football needs to be suspended as a result, although both of these things are important for a footballer. I'm fine, my family is fine, and I'm going back to the field. ”
"I prefer to see this as a positive, rare opportunity." I often think that if I could take two or three months out, I would be able to both make my game more creative and my body stronger. This is usually not possible in a career, I would rather not be injured myself, but I have to accept it, try to overcome it, and become a stronger version of myself. ”
About your football career
"In my mind, I'm a guy who grew up in a small city, but sometimes you have to feel arrogant and a little ignorant about your abilities because that pushes you to do more. If your opponents are Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, they may be better than you, but if you know you're working hard every day, you can tell yourself 'Is there anyone in the world who can defend better than me right now?' Maybe I believe I'm the best, and I have to believe that. If not, I wouldn't be who I am now, and I would never have given 100 percent. ”
