Life is greater than football. Eriksen collapsed during a friendly, regained consciousness after treatment, and the match was canceled.

Football is the world's number one sport, and players treat it as their job and livelihood. However, life is more important than football. Perhaps Eriksen will truly have to retire, for his own sake and for his family.

The World Cup starts this week, with all teams busy preparing. On June 8 at 00:30 Beijing time, a friendly match between Denmark and Ukraine was held. In this warm-up game, 34-year-old Wolfsburg midfielder Christian Eriksen started, but he suddenly collapsed during the match. The Danish veteran fell to the ground clutching his chest without any contact, and the team doctors immediately came onto the field to provide treatment.

Shortly afterward, the officials issued a statement saying that Eriksen had regained consciousness and that the friendly match was canceled. The Danish national team doctor stated that Eriksen was in good condition, walked off the pitch on his own, and his pacemaker was working normally. He had only briefly lost consciousness and then quickly recovered.

Many will recall the 2021 European Championship match between Denmark and Finland, when Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch. Both teams' medical staff performed CPR, and after being resuscitated he left Inter Milan, had a pacemaker fitted, and returned to the Premier League. After 259 days, he made his comeback for Brentford.

In my personal opinion, Eriksen has now lost consciousness on the pitch for the second time. Football is huge, but life is even bigger. At 34 years old, retirement would be the best course of action. The World Cup is every player's dream, but Eriksen's health is more important than the World Cup, more important than anything. It's time to retire. Eriksen, you are already a legend of Danish football. Wishing you well.
