[인터풋볼] Reporter Ha Geun-su = Christian Eriksen, who has fully recovered from a heart attack, will face his former team Tottenham Hotspur. Coach Antonio Conte, who had a priestly relationship with Inter Milan in the past, is also waiting for this match, saying he is unbelievably happy.
Tottenham will face Brentford in Round 34 of the English Premier League (EPL) for the 2021-22 season to be held at the Brentford Community Stadium in London, England on the 24th at 1:30 am (Korean time). Tottenham are in fourth place with 57 points (18 wins, 3 draws and 11 losses).
Tottenham Hotspur, who had been on an upward trend by winning 4 league games in a row, eventually slipped in the last round. They played against Brighton at home, but after a frustrating match, they conceded a goal just before the end and suffered a defeat. Although they kept their top 4 spot, they were tied with Arsenal in fifth place (57 points). Tottenham Hotspur are aiming for fourth place by winning all remaining matches.
This round isn’t easy either. They will face Brentford, who has recently reached the peak of the mood after a shaky performance. Brentford is on a three-game winning streak by defeating West Ham United and Watford in turn after succeeding in a giant-killing match against Chelsea in the 31st round.
A special observation point is raising expectations for the game today. This is because Eriksen, who played for Tottenham in the past, will face his former team. Eriksen, who suffered a heart attack during UEFA Euro 2020 last summer, left Inter to join Brentford, and then showed unchanging sharpness, leading Brentford to victory.
Coach Conte, who worked with Eriksen at Inter Milan, is also preparing for this match with excitement. According to ‘Football London’, Conte said of Eriksen: “Above all, I am very happy to see him play football again. Last June was so terrible. I wish Eriksen and his family the best for the present and future. hope,” he said.
“It will be a pleasure to play against Eriksen this coming weekend. It’s incredible. It’s a great opportunity for Eriksen and his family to have this opportunity, because they’re back to their normal lives,” he said to Eriksen. Sending heartfelt support.
