Yesterday, Christian Eriksen collapsed during the game against Finland in view of the Euros competition in what were very scary scenes for everyone that was watching. The player's life was in real danger. But luckily he was saved, rushed to the hospital and he is now stable.
Simon Kjaer showed that he is up to the task of being the national team captain by rushing to help his friend and teammate. He cleared his airways and made sure that Eriksen did not in fact choke and swallow his own tongue.
Not only that, but the 32 year-old defender consoled the midfielder's wife and helped to calm her down in such a situation.
Kjaer also asked his teammates to create a shield around the player in order not to let fans and media see what is happening. It was a true gesture of compassion. Yesterday, the Denmark number 4 proved to the world that he is a real man and captain, wrote Il Corriere dello Sport.
