Christian Eriksen returns to the Premier League and makes his Brentford debut. His comeback match ended in defeat The Bees from Newcastle United.
Eriksen joined Brentford earlier this year after breaking his contract with Inter Milan. The Danish midfielder parted ways with Nerazzurri as a result of the ban on players with pacemakers.
As is known, Eriksen used a defibrillator or pacemaker after collapsing in the 2020 European Cup match. The Premier League did not prohibit players from using these assistive devices.
Christian Eriksen made his debut with Brentford, Saturday (26/2/2022) night WIB. He came on as a substitute in the match against Newcastle United at the Brentford Community Stadium.
This will be Eriksen’s first competitive match since recovering from a heart attack in June 2021. In addition, Eriksen has also made another appearance in the Premier League since he last played for Tottenham Hotspur in January 2020.
The crowd applauded when Eriksen came on for Mathias Jensen in the 52nd minute. The presence of the former Ajax Amsterdam failed to save Brentford, who has started with 10 men since Josh Dasilva was sent off in the 11th minute, of a 0-2 defeat against Newcastle.
Despite losing, Eriksen’s performance with Brentford can be said to be pretty good. choose noted, Eriksen was involved in four duels, making 24 passes and 4 crossings during his 38 minutes on the pitch.
Eriksen is very happy to be back playing again after recovering from a heart problem. He thanks Brentford and the manager The BeesThomas Frank, who gave him a comeback in a competitive match.
“If you ignore the result of the match, I am the happiest person. To be able to come back after going through what I’ve been through is really amazing,” Eriksen said after the Brentford vs Newcastle match, quoted from BBC.
“Thomas [Frank] don’t talk much [ketika saya tiba]. I’ve had a lot of conversations with him over the last few weeks. He just said good luck and enjoy the game.”

“You can never predict the game. I don’t think anyone predicted we would play with 10 men this fast. The players did what they could. It was a good fight in the end.”
“It’s been very special from day one. [Brentford] has taken good care of me. Everyone is very happy with it and everyone is very helpful,” he said.
Welcome back to the Premier League, Christian Eriksen!
