Lots of rest, while the causes of the cardiac arrest that hit him in the match against Finland will continue to be studied, and maybe some prayers: Chris Eriksen is spending his convalescence in his Odense home after the illness that was costing him his life and the operation for the subcutaneous graft of a defibrillator but Inter have never stopped thinking about him. On its website and on social networks, the Nerazzurri club – which is waiting for Eriksen to say goodbye as early as July 8 on the day of the meeting – wanted to write a long letter to the midfielder to show the closeness and affection that there have been and always will be.
The touching letter from Inter to Eriksen
These are some passages from the letter: “They were not ordinary days, those we counted from Saturday, from those moments that seemed so long and meaningless to us, from what we wanted to be just a bad dream. Fortunately, from nightmares, even the worst, we wake up. In the respectful silence of these days we have condensed all our thoughts, our prayers, even our sighs: those of relief, for the photos and communications that arrived from a place we did not know until a few days ago, the Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen “
After summarizing the stages of Eriksen’s odyssey, the Nerazzurri club concludes as follows: “The shivers of fear have turned into relief in these days. And in emotion: the huge number 10 shirt shown before Denmark-Belgium, in that same stadium on Saturday. The game stopped at 10 minutes, the general applause of fans and players on the pitch, including Romelu Lukaku. The banners, the shirts shown by the fans, the national teams all dedicated a thought to our number 24. All moments that make up the strongest and most heartfelt embrace for Christian Eriksen. Come on Chris, Inter and all Inter fans are with you! ”.
Inter fans cling to Eriksen
Hundreds of reactions on social media: “You are part of the great Nerazzurri family and we will always be close to you, whatever happens. We will be waiting for you with open arms when you return to Italy, I already imagine a San Siro full of people partying for you. Now rest and enjoy your family. See you soon Christian! ” or also: “Chris you are always in our thoughts! How much we cried, first it was tears of despair, then tears of joy! We will always be waiting for you! Milan is your home ”or:“ we will wait for you even if you come to the stands to watch our team, we will love you anyway you are and you will be our teacher ”.
Some write: “Your arrival at Inter was like going back to dreaming. A champion who chooses our colors. We have been waiting for years ”and again:“ Now we will all be here, waiting for yours return, hoping to still be able to excite us with your class on the lawn of the Meazza, always by your side. We are delighted that it ended well, now enjoy your life and family ”. Finally, a controversial note: “Very beautiful attestations of affection, but I have not forgotten when he was considered a limp, without character, who needed warriors like Vidal or Nainggolan to win”.
