"When there are quieter moments, I sometimes think of him. The situation back then changed my life a bit,"
"After that time, he returned in an international match against the Netherlands and scored after just a few minutes. It was incredibly nice to see him back on the pitch."
"When I came, our squad had a lot of players in that position, so it was not the right time and place. We have lots of quality there, so it was not really an issue. Christian is a fantastic player and an even better person."
"When he starts playing football and you see him train and play, you see a very special player. He understands what he sees around him and he sees more on the pitch than most players. He's a great player."
Kasper Hjulmand anticipates a reunion with Christian Eriksen as Bayer Leverkusen prepare to face Wolfsburg. Eriksen joined Wolfsburg after leaving Manchester United and has made seven Bundesliga appearances totalling 402 minutes. Hjulmand recalled Eriksen's cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 and praised his recovery and immediate return to scoring in an international match. Hjulmand described Eriksen as a great player and an even better person, noting his exceptional vision on the pitch. Hjulmand said Leverkusen already had multiple players in Eriksen's position when he arrived, so signing him then was not the right fit. Hjulmand remains fully focused on winning the upcoming match.
