Al Jazeera
Viewers slam TV broadcasters for zooming in on Eriksen after his collapse on the pitch and also showing his wife in distress.
Football fans and commentators have expressed outrage at the live coverage of Christian Eriksen’s collapse during Denmark’s Euro 2020 clash with Finland, while praising his teammates for forming a wall to shield him from view. Television viewers watched in dismay as cameras kept rolling on while medical professionals performed chest compressions on the 29-year-old after he suddenly fell on the pitch 42 minutes into Saturday’s match at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium. Several shots, including through the legs of players, showed Eriksen receiving treatment, before cutting to his clearly distressed wife, who was in the stadium. The medics worked on Eriksen for nearly 20 minutes before he was resuscitated and brought to the hospital.More Related News
