On 31 January 2022, Danish midfielder Eriksen, who has become a free agent, returned to the Premier League to join promoted Mabrentford on a half-season contract.
In the Group Stage of the European Championship against Finland in Denmark last summer, Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during the match, and the situation was quite critical, which touched the hearts of countless fans at the time.
Due to the timely measures taken by the Danish team members and medical personnel, Eriksen was successfully rescued. At the hospital, Erikson was implanted with a heart defibrillator.
After being discharged, Eriksen still wanted to continue his playing career, but Serie A did not allow players with cardiac defibrillators to play, and finally on December 17, 2021, Eriksen reached an agreement with Inter Milan to terminate his contract early.
After leaving Serie A, Eriksen eventually returned to the Premier League to join Premier League side Brentford on a free rein. At present, the manager of this Brentford team is Danish, and there are many Danish players in the squad.
Since Brentford and the owner of Jutland, the danish domestic powerhouse, are the same person: Matthew Bennham, this makes Brentford particularly closely linked to Danish players and Danish teams.
In this winter transfer window, Brentford went on loan with 2 Danish players, but there were still as many as 7 Danish players in the squad.
The two Danish players who were trained on Brentford's loan were centre-back Račic, 22, and Bistrup, a 20-year-old midfielder.
In this season's Premier League, Račic did not get a chance to play, and in this winter transfer window, he was loaned to Danish side HB Köhe.
Bistrup has made four Premier League appearances this season, all as a substitute. In the winter transfer window, the midfielder will be loaned by Brentford to Danish side North Zealand.
Currently, the 7 Danish players in Brentford's squad are:
33-year-old goalkeeper Lessell. In this winter transfer window, Brentford brought goalkeeper Leser from the Danish side Jutland on loan. Leser is no stranger to premier league matches, having been the main goalkeeper for Premier League side Huddersfield in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons. After coming to Brentford on loan, Leser has played twice in the Premier League for the team.
31-year-old centre-back Zamka. Experienced he has made 7 Premier League appearances so far this season, scoring 1 goal.
Centre-back Sorensen, 23, is a 23-year-old. As early as the summer of 2017, Sorensen joined Brentford and helped the team successfully rush to the Premier League as the main player in the 2020-21 season. He has made a total of 5 appearances in the Premier League this season.
Right-back Leslef, 22. In this season's Premier League, the young right-back has made 14 appearances and scored 1 goal.
27-year-old midfielder Nell Gao. The Denmark international is currently an absolute mainstay in Brentford's squad, having made 24 Premier League appearances for his team this season, all starting and scoring one goal.
Midfielder Matthias Jensen, 26, is a 26-year-old. The Denmark international is also a key player in Brentford's squad and has played 19 premier league games this season.
Erikson, who just turned 30 on February 14, 2022. Previously, when playing for Tottenham, Eriksen made 226 Premier League appearances, scoring 51 goals and having 62 assists, which was quite good.
The current manager for Brentford is Danish Frank. It was under his leadership that Brentford defeated Bournemouth and Swansea in the 2020-21 Championship promotion play-offs, successfully rushed to the Premier League, and returned to the English top flight after 74 years.
In the first round of the 2021-22 Premier League season, Brentford, who made his Premier League debut, won 2-0 at home to Arsenal, and at the scene, a white-haired Brentford fan shed tears of excitement.
Since the start of the Premier League this season, Brentford, who has won 6, drawn 6 and lost 13, is temporarily 14th in the table, temporarily in a favorable position in the fierce relegation battle. This team with a large number of Danish players in the squad has added a different kind of scenery to the Premier League.
