Erikson on cardiac arrest: I was out of this world for five minutes, and it's absolutely miraculous to be back

Recently, Eriksen was interviewed by a BBC reporter, in which he recalled his experience of shock at the European Cup, and talked about his current state and his feelings of returning to the stadium.

About the shock event

"Except for the 5 minutes of coma, I was impressed by everything else. This was told to me afterwards by others, when I was in a coma for 5 minutes, and I remember everything else except this time. I remember the ball hit my knee and I passed out. When I woke up, I was surrounded by people, I felt pressure in my chest, and I kept trying to get my breathing back. Then I woke up and saw all around me, and I didn't know what was going on. But my mind will think, is there something wrong with my legs? Is there a fracture in my back? Can my legs still be lifted? Then in the ambulance, I heard someone asking how long he had been away, and the other person replied, 5 minutes, which was the first time I had heard I had ever left. It feels like a miracle to be able to return to the pitch again, there's no doubt about it. As you get closer and closer to being able to play, you'll get more and more excited. ”

About ICD

"In the days after the shock, I didn't think I'd be back in the world of football, but I didn't think I'd retire. I did all the relevant tests and talked to the doctor to see what I could do and what I couldn't do. About a week later, I had an ICD implant in my body and they told me that I could live like a normal person and that you could do whatever you wanted. It was a relief for me, but I didn't want to go too far, I didn't want to take the risk, so I did a lot of tests to make sure I didn't have problems with my bodily functions. The ICD ensures that my body triggers a stress response when something goes wrong, and for now, my body doesn't take any risk. ”

About returning to the pitch

"I want to get back to normal and returning to the Premier League is the first step in achieving that goal. To be honest, I wasn't hit by this incident. After that, the doctor and I made a plan for rehabilitation, step by step. It's a slow process and you need to spend a long time doing the relevant tests, and I'm grateful to my family for supporting me throughout the process. They know that if my body allows it, I will still return to the pitch, but again, if my physical condition does not allow it, then I will retire from now on. Thank you very much for their continued support and companionship. Happily, I was finally given the doctor's permission and I was allowed to get back on the pitch. ”

About the challenge

"I'm not worried that my physical condition will not be able to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League. I don't have any feelings of fear right now, I don't feel any changes that ICD has brought to my body. But it's going to be a very special experience. I've only recently been training with my teammates and I've done a lot of physical tests, so I'm feeling good right now, but it may take a while for the ball to recover. At the moment, all I have to wait for is permission from the coach, and when he thinks I can play, then I can play. ”

About returning to London

"I know the place very well and Brentford is very close to the Tottenham club I played for before. Of course, personal relationships with coaches and many teammates also helped me quickly integrate into the team. All I need to do now is wait patiently for the last game to come, and the feeling of being able to play again after experiencing the shock event will undoubtedly be very special. ”
