At that moment, Eriksen's foot flicked and the ball arced straight into the net. In an instant, the pot exploded in the stadium. It wasn't just a goal, it was Eriksen's rebirth after 1,100 days of cardiac arrest and his magnificent return to the European Championships.
Remember that cardiac arrest? At the last European Championship, Eriksen suddenly collapsed, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still. Emergency rescue, life and death, he brushed shoulders with death. Not only did he come back, but he also announced his perfect return with a wonderful goal in this much-anticipated game.
The tension on race day is like a tight string. The hearts of the fans accelerated with every pass, with every shot. The duel between the Netherlands and Poland was so tense that it made people gasp. With the Netherlands behind, Gakpo and Weghorst scored like two hammers to smash Poland's defence to pieces and complete a thrilling comeback.
The contest between the England team and the Serbian team was also so tense that it made people's palms sweat. Jude Bellingham, the young youngster, slotted to the top with a fish-fish leap to give England a valuable three points. And Kane's header hit the crossbar, which made the fans' hearts rise to their throats. England, a team that is always exciting and worrying, seems to be brewing something this time.
Speaking of surprises, I have to mention the head coach of the Dutch team, Koeman. In between matches, the scene of him wiping his nose, sucking his fingers and licking his palms was reminiscent of the indecent behavior of former Germany coach Loew. Koeman, the master tactician, seems to be paying homage to Loew in this way, or is it just a unique way for him to release the pressure?
Eriksen's goal is more than just a goal, it represents a spirit, a spirit of perseverance and never giving up. The Danish midfielder, after going through the test of life and death, proved his strength to the world with football and goals. His goal also made him the oldest goalscorer in the history of the Danish team in the European Championship, which is not only a personal glory, but also the pride of the entire Danish football.
England's defence was equally impressive. Under Gareth Southgate, they set a European Championship defensive record, keeping five consecutive clean sheets in the group stage. This steady defense is reminiscent of the old saying: "Offense leads to victory, defense brings champions." And Bellingham's goal was the best gift for his 21st birthday.
But when it comes to excitement, we have to count Eriksen's return. The Danish star, after a life-or-death cardiac arrest, not only returned to the game, but also announced his perfect return with a wonderful goal in this much-anticipated game. His goal is more than just a goal, it represents a spirit, a spirit of perseverance and never giving up.
The Dutch team's comeback victory is also exciting. From behind, Gakpo and Weghorst scored like two hammers that smashed Poland's defence. This indomitable spirit reminds people of the old saying: "In adversity, the truth can be seen." ”
England's solid defence is also impressive. Under Gareth Southgate, they set a European Championship defensive record, keeping five consecutive clean sheets in the group stage. This steady defense is reminiscent of the old saying: "Offense leads to victory, defense brings champions." And Bellingham's goal was the best gift for his 21st birthday.
Koeman's indecent behaviour, while somewhat surprising, also added a touch of relief to the tense game. Does the Dutch manager seem to be paying homage to Loew in this way, or is it just a unique way for him to release the pressure?
These players, these coaches, their stories, go on. Eriksen's perfect return, the Netherlands' comeback victory, England's solid defence, and Koeman's indecent behaviour all intertwine to make up a spectacular game and an unforgettable story. And these stories, still going on, are still waiting for us to discover and feel.
