Copenhagen Park Stadium, staged twice in 10 days, the Danish fairy tale is so beautiful.
In the early morning of June 13, Eriksen suddenly fell to the ground and suffered cardiac arrest, and the timely treatment of teammates, the emergency rescue of medical staff, and the prayers of all the fans brought a miracle of life, creating the most moving moment in the history of the European Cup.
The first two games of the group stage were lost, 1 point was not scored, and no team in the history of the European Championship has ever qualified from the group, but this Danish team has done it. Without the core of the midfield, Eriksen, they won with the biggest point difference in the team's history in the European Championship, straight to the round of 16 of this European Championship.
When Eriksen fell to the ground, although Christensen, Winder, Delaney and others were already in tears, the Danish team formed the strongest human wall to protect the safety of their teammates. After wiping away the tears, the Danish team ended the group stage with a big victory, and after the game, the Danish team circled again, patiently waiting for the staff to refresh the results of another game with their mobile phones, expecting the miracle to be staged again.
Without much suspense, Belgium won three consecutive victories, ensuring that Denmark pushed Finland and Russia to finish second in the group and directly enter the knockout round.
A great victory was dedicated to Eriksen, to Danish football, which had previously experienced disasters. Danish captain Kyal and coach Yudelman embraced passionately, and all the Danish players began to celebrate, with Danish fans in the stands waving the flag in their hands and supporting Eriksen's slogan, drinking beer in their hands.
The efforts of his teammates and the support of the home fans were all in the eyes of Eriksen, and he and his family watched all this in front of the TV. The suspense was revealed, and Erikson posted the results of the game on social media, and the applause was given to the teammates who tried their best and finally created a miracle.

In fact, from the moment he woke up, Erikson was always thinking of his comrades in the national team. When he was taken to the hospital for treatment, he encouraged his teammates to stick to the game through video calls, and after losing to Finland and Belgium, he always encouraged his teammates in the social media group, and the first time after discharge, he rushed to the team's training base to visit his teammates and tell everyone to keep hope.
The teammates didn't disappoint Eriksen in the end. Captain Kyal played the whole game, the old partner of the midfield Hoy beal sent 2 assists, Christensen and the post-00 youngster Damsgao respectively attacked the world wave, Polson, Meyler also scored goals, they fulfilled the promise of leading the team to the round of 16 before the game.
In the past 10 days, Denmark has received tributes, encouragement and blessings from world football, but the European Championship is ultimately a competitive game, and it is impossible to win and move forward relying on sympathy alone. In desperation, they took their fate into their own hands, used a big victory to advance to the knockout round, and once again created a miracle in the arena.
