Victim of a cardiac arrest at the Euro last June, Christian Eriksen has confided his desire to resume football and participate in the next World Cup in Qatar.
Passed very close to death on June 12 against Finland, the midfielder whose contract was terminated with Inter Milan is free to engage with the club he wishes. While many thought he would end his career, the 29-year-old is determined to continue.
In a long interview for the Danish channel DR1 which will be broadcast on Wednesday, Christian Eriksen indicated his desire to regain the grounds and the Danish selection with the objective of playing in the World Cup next winter.

“My goal is to play the World Cup in Qatar, I want to play,” said the Dane to the 109 selections in this passage he shared on his social networks. It has been my state of mind for a long time. It’s a goal, my dream. But whether I am selected is another story. But it’s my dream to come back. I’m sure I can come back because I don’t feel different. ”
If obviously it will be complicated, Eriksen intends to do everything to achieve it. “Physically, I’m in good shape again, so I have to get back to football and prove that I can reach this level again,” said the former Tottenham player. It’s very important, I want to play with the national team at the World Cup. My dream is to join the national team and play at Parken (the stadium in Copenhagen where he had his accident). I want to show that what happened at the European Championship was unique. Once again, it will be up to the coach to estimate my level, but my heart is not an obstacle. ”
