Since the implantation of his cardioverter defibrillator, Christian Eriksen's mind has been filled with the question: When will I be able to return to the field?
But before that, he had to undergo a nearly six-month-long recuperation and rehabilitation.
And it's all like eating hot, thin rice.
In fact, Christian Eriksen was already present at the training ground of Odense BK back in early December - technically, Middelfart Boldklub was his soccer start (and good friend
Anthony (name)
(Joined together before their third birthday)
But it was in 2005 that Odense BK started his career in the youth ranks.
Eriksen was born on Valentine's Day 1992 in Mizelfart, a coastal town in the middle of the Danish island of Fiing. His father, Thomas, was a member of an amateur team, but early injuries forced him to retire to a career in automotive parts sales.
But the passion for soccer is like DNA, inherited and deeply influenced in the lives of the children. The power of family is always important, like Christian and his sister Louise who both became professional soccer players because of their soccer-crazy dads. To this day, Thomas still gets furious when his son makes a mistake on the field, and even calls his son a few days after the game to correct him.
Christian Eriksen competed for Odense BK in the Danish Youth Championship, but the team was knocked out by Brøndby in the last eight, after which he was voted the best technical player. The following year Odense BK came back and won the championship with his goal in the final.
The talented youngster's bright performances at the club's U16 and U19, as well as Denmark's U17, quickly caught the radar of a bunch of foreign giants.Christian Eriksen was first at Barcelona,
Chelsea
Real Madrid,
Manchester United Football Club
Milan (Italy)
Tryouts, and finally his answer was to be taken in a big way by a foreign giant at the age of 16 (2008).
This foreign giant, not one of those giants above, but the same one that could take him to a far wider sky than Denmark. After all, at the time, the Blues youth training was still not perfect, AC
Milan (Italy)
The youth competition with traditional powers such as Barcelona was too intense, and Eriksen's father, avoiding his son's career being jeopardized by leaving the country too early, turned down each of these offers.
It's just a few minutes' walk from Christian Eriksen's own villa. He arrives at 8 a.m. every morning, puts on his workout gear, and does his cardio training on the sidelines under the guidance of a personal trainer.
Returning from a major catastrophe, career starter Odense BK didn't hesitate to step in to assist Christian Eriksen's recovery
There is already snow in Denmark and Christian Eriksen has just returned to the pitch and can't wait to get some ball training under his belt. He wants to continue to play soccer, and he knows that early exposure to training with the ball will help him find his game as soon as possible.
The fact that Christian Eriksen is able to come to the field and train is already the second step of the rehabilitation program. Since three months after his heart surgery, he has been unfolding from his home gym and undergoing all the rigorous physical indicators at all times.
This is a long and painful process that is difficult to understand: on the one hand, there is hope, he needs to return to the system of professional training as soon as possible, so that his declining physical function as soon as possible to return to the level of professional athletes; on the other hand, it is depressing, the doctor's urgency is comparable to that of anyone on the field in the past, once the body of the time any more problems, it may be necessary to deprive him of the right to live an ordinary life.
As fate would have it, Christian Eriksen is gradually improving.
