Christian Eriksen, after cardiac arrest during Euro 2020, and the termination of his contract with Inter, joined the English club Brentford. Here are his statements during the presentation: "I took the time I needed. That's why I didn't do interviews.
I focused on family. We had few conversations with the manager of the club on the phone. He wanted me to come here. One of the first things I said to my cardiologist was that my goal is to be fit for the World Cup, hopefully. There are still many months left, a long wait.
I will do everything I can. I want first of all to help the club to stay in the Premier League. I'm here to help the team. I feel normal, the only problem is in the airports, with the security systems. I hope that over time we will talk more and more about football and less about the boy he had something in the summer.
I hope they treat me like everyone else. I have been given the green light. People don't have to worry about me as a person or as a player. I don't fight, so it doesn't matter. It will be a gradual process, I don't expect it.to play 90 minutes right away, but I hope it doesn't take long.
If there had been any worries I would not have returned to play. I feel 100% ready to return. He was the first person I saw when I got out of the taxi. It was a little weird. I think he was also surprised you were here. I've always had a good relationship with Conte."
Wayne Rooney: "I Thought I Was Killing Someone Or Dying Me"
Wayne Rooney, former Manchester United striker, talked about alcohol problems, fights and some anecdotes in a documentary released for the BBC. He said: "Ten or 15 years ago you couldn't walk into a locker room and say: I have alcohol problems, I have mental problems.
It just couldn't be. I used to come home with a black eye and I was only 12. Been the girls, or driving drunk, all of the things I did. I could have killed someone or died myself. I was really going through a bad time. I knew I needed help, to save myself and my family.
One day I was going through the road with a bottle of cider. My time coach, Colin Harvey, sees me and lets me pass. The next day he takes me aside and says: you are the greatest talent I have ever seen at your age, don't waste it.
At 16, against Arsenal, I was charged up on the bench, I said to myself: I want to score a goal when I am 16. If I come in and I have only one chance, I shoot on goal. At 18 I felt I was the best player in the world, and at the time I think I really was.
At the 2006 World Cup, I was injured, but no I hadn't told anyone, not even our physiotherapists. When I returned to the locker room after being sent off, I smashed a few things. I felt lonely as ever. As the game went on without me, I thought: if we qualify, I'll skip the semifinal and maybe even the final.
If we go out, it's my fault. In the summer of 2010 we had sold Ronaldo and Tevez: I was the only one left, as a high profile player. I walk into Ferguson's office and ask him what's going on. He tells me to leave. Then I ask to be sold. But I was right, as soon as Sir Alex retired everything collapsed, and they're still picking up the pieces."
