Shocking revelation from Barak: “I risked death by suffering what Eriksen did at the European Championships.”

Christian Eriksen’s on-field collapse during Denmark vs Finland at Euro 2020 is a haunting image that will be difficult for football fans to forget. The Danish midfielder has fortunately escaped risking his life and continuing to play the sport he loves professionally.

In fact, Antonin Barak recalled Eriksen’s case in his interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, and there was a serious reason for it: the Czech Fiorentina midfielder revealed that last summer he faced a very serious health problem that immediately threatened him his own life.

“It seemed like something simple and yet it became something Bilateral pneumonia with effusion in the lungs up to the pericardium.

I went to the hospital and had to take a long break, I could have ended up like Eriksen, who felt unwell on the pitch at the last European Championships. emphasized the 28-year-old Czech, before admitting in the same interview that it was only a matter of time before he was transferred to Naples 1.5 years ago.

“At the end of 2021/22 the deal with Napoli was almost completed, but they delayed the sale of Fabian Ruith, in whose place I would go. Eventually they accepted an offer to bring Ndombele from Tottenham almost for free.”

I was very angry at the time, but looking back I can’t blame them at all for choosing this path. Fiorentina was the biggest leap for me and I’m very happy that I made it.
