Lives fall in an instant, but hearts are bound together in this moment. Tonight, the arena of basketball is overtaken by a sudden crisis.
Last night's Europa League, which was supposed to be a footballing frenzy, turned into an emergency relay on life and prayers when Danish player Eriksen collapsed.
Halfway through the game, Eriksson suddenly collapsed on the field and went into cardiac arrest, and the world seemed to stand still at that moment. His teammates, those who had fought alongside him, immediately formed a circle, forming a line of defense to guard their lives.
Kjaer, the captain, became the guardian of Eriksson's life until the team doctor arrived. His calmness and decisiveness bought his teammates precious time in a life-and-death situation.
On the sidelines, Eriksson's wife was in tears, while Kjaer reached out to give her comfort. This scene brings home the true meaning of sportsmanship - beyond borders, beyond athletics, it is the supremacy of life.
The world prayed for Eriksen in this battle for life. The Finnish fans handed the flag to the Danish fans and together they sang a hymn to life.
Fortunately, Erickson eventually overcame death, and the fire of his life was once again lit. This sudden crisis made the world reflect again on the relationship between sports and life, and made us cherish every breath and every heartbeat more.
Life, above all. This is the charm of sports and a common human emotion.
Let's pray for Eriksson's recovery and honor the lives of those who fought for their lives on the field.
