VIDEO – The nice image: when the altercation between Christian Eriksen and Brandon Williams ends in a big hug

It was the end of the tunnel. A day that Christian Eriksen will not soon forget. On March 5, 2022, the Dane found the joy of a starting place in a football team. Aligned in the starting lineup from Brentford to Norwich, the former Inter player had not started a meeting since his heart attack during the Euro 2021 match between Denmark and Finland. He played the entire game. And his team won with a hat-trick from Ivan Toney (1-3).

However, the meeting could have come to an end for Eriksen. Caught on a dribble from Brandon Williams, the Dane held off the Norwich side before putting him on the ground. Williams immediately lost his temper and looked like he was about to come to blows with his attacker. Then he recognized Eriksen and his attitude changed dramatically. The Canaries defender immediately calmed down and hugged Eriksen. The altercation turned into a big hug and the two players got up laughing.

The rest of the match was quieter for the Dane, who did not hide his happiness after regaining starting status. « To be there here and now, eight or nine months later, it’s incrediblehe said after the meeting. I wouldn’t say it’s a new chapter, just that my life goes on. I had a few setbacks, it took a few months… I thank all the people and my family who encouraged me, I am delighted to be here. »
