Christian Eriksen: debut against Dortmund in the VfL jersey?
VfL Wolfsburg can look forward to a top-class newcomer: Christian Eriksen, the Danish record player, has signed a contract until 2027 and will take a leading role in coach Paul Simonis' team. The 33-year-old, who was previously without a club, can hardly wait to make his Bundesliga debut, which may take place next matchday against Borussia Dortmund. Eriksen himself is optimistic and is looking forward to being on the pitch soon and demonstrating his footballing skills in Germany, as bundesliga.com reports.
The Dane's return is not only remarkable in terms of sport, but is also linked to an eventful past. Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during the 2021 European Championships, but after a successful resuscitation, he returned to the big football stage in 2022. He previously played for big clubs such as Inter Milan, Brentford and Manchester United, where his contract expired in the summer. In order to prepare for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, where he wants to compete with Denmark, match practice is of utmost importance for Eriksen, as ndr.de emphasizes.
Only record national player and teammate behind him
With 144 international matches and 46 goals, Eriksen is his country's most capped player and has taken part in three World Cups and three European Championships. This horizon of experience should help him to quickly integrate into the Bundesliga. In Wolfsburg he will meet several Danish teammates, including Joakim Maehle and Jesper Lindström, who could make it easier for him to get started. Wolfsburg sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz expressed his enthusiasm about this transfer and emphasized the importance of Eriksen's experience for the team.
“We have shown a good hand,” says Schindzielorz. The club also has a managing director from Denmark, Peter Christiansen, which could further facilitate the integration of the new addition. Eriksen will wear the number 24 and is determined to find his place in the Wolfsburg team and adapt to the attacking style of play in the Bundesliga, as sueddeutsche.de reports.
His appearances so far have been extremely promising, even though he was only on the bench in the last game against Cologne. With a positive attitude and the support of teammates, Eriksen is ready to turn heads and wow fans at the Volkswagen Arena in the coming weeks.
