Christian Eriksen: Farewell to Manchester United after emotional career!

Christian Eriksen: Farewell to Manchester United after emotional career!

Kopenhagen, Dänemark - Manchester United announced the separation from Christian Eriksen today. The 33-year-old Dane will no longer play for the Red Devils after three years because his contract is not extended. This happened after the Premier League season was completed, in which Eriksen ran 107 times for the club. He had occupied his last appearance emotionally: in the 87th minute he converted a penalty as a joker in the game against Aston Villa.

For Eriksen, the way back to professional sports was a remarkable story. In 2021 he suffered a cardiac arrest during the European Football Championship in the preliminary round game against Finland. His collapse in the 43rd minute was shocking because he fell without physical contact. Thanks to the quick and effective reaction of the first aiders and the defibrillation, which took place about 2.5 minutes after the incident, he could be saved. This life -saving measure increased its chance of survival to 75 percent, and Eriksen became available again after 30 seconds.

from Inter Milan to Manchester United

Eriksen had to leave the Italian series A and Inter Milan after the incident, since the game permit was refused because of the implanted defibrillator. This led to a move to FC Brentford, where he gave his comeback. On February 26, 2022, he finally returned to the Premier League, 259 days after his cardiac arrest. The Danish player demonstrated that it is possible to remain active despite health restrictions in high -performance sports, which is also illustrated by the example of other athletes such as the pole vumor Katharina Bauer and the former professional footballer Daniel Engelbrecht.

Overall, Eriksen's way back to the football business was not only a personal comeback, but also a sign of dealing with heart diseases in sport. Cardiologists have found that athletes who wear a defibrillator can remain efficient. Despite the challenges associated with it, Eriksen shows that a return is possible.

In addition to Eriksen, Manchester United also said goodbye to central defenders Victor Lindelöf and Jonny Evans after the last game of the season. This marks a fresh start for the club and a season that was characterized by ups and downs. The future remains exciting for everyone involved.

The story of Christian Eriksen illustrates the importance of modern medicine in sport and the role of defibrillators as life -saving devices. Every year over 20,000 people in Germany receive a defibrillator, and modern heart medicine continuously discovers new ways to improve the chances of survival of athletes with cardiac arrhythmia, as the journalist Nikolaus Hillmann and other affected people report.
