Eriksen: After two days of cardiac arrest, I knew I was going back on the pitch

Recently, Erikson was interviewed by Sky Sports, in which he talked about his current physical condition and said that he knew he would return to the stadium after two days of cardiac arrest.

Eriksen has signed Brentford on a six-month contract and is back on the pitch after just seven months of cardiac arrest. Eriksen terminated his contract with Inter milan in December last year and will no longer be able to play in Serie A because Italy's medical authorities banned players from using implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs). He has now completed all relevant medical examinations and has been allowed to return to the pitch.

Asked in an interview with reporters when he started believing in himself and being able to return to the pitch again, Erikson said: "Two days later I believed I could go back to the pitch and I knew exactly what happened that night and what happened in the next few days. And then I do a lot of testing and they ask me if I can do this or that. I follow the doctor's advice to slowly recover, we do a lot of tests to see how the heart reacts and the state, and passing these tests is the only way for me to return to the stadium. Fortunately, my test results and indicators were good, and the ICD did not have any restrictions on my body. I was allowed to do some high-intensity cardio, but it depended on how I felt. I used to tell my wife that I might hang up my boots, but I also told her not to be surprised if I changed my mind after a while. Luckily, I feel very good right now. ”

Eriksen has said that the heart problem is not an obstacle to his return to the field. In England, an athlete has the right to determine whether his physical condition is suitable for play, and the use of ICD is allowed in the UK, and he will become the first player in the Premier League to use ICD. And Eriksen also said that he wants people to look at themselves as if they were a normal player.

Eriksen said: "It was a tough recovery process and in the first three months I didn't do anything. I didn't start rehab training until my last three or four months. In the beginning, it was hard to see football because you wanted to get involved, and I used to focus on my family and other things, hoping to forget about football. But in the last few months, football has come back to my life and I've been able to touch football and be able to smell the grass. The moment I put on my sneakers, everything about football came back to my mind. The challenge is to overcome the difficulties in front of me, I had hoped to come back to Italy to play but I was not allowed so I had to make a change and now I can continue my career at Brentford. My goal is to be able to be the top player in the world again and I'm glad the doctor gave me the opportunity to return to the pitch. It's a pleasure to be able to see the ICD implanted and come back to the pitch after a cardiac arrest, and it's great that I set an example in that regard. ”
