Heroes of Euro. Esper Gronkyer

The player of the London "Chelsea" Esper Gronkyer scored a very, very important goal for his Denmark's national team. This happened in a meeting of the Danes with Bulgaria. Recall that exactly nine days ago, my mother died at Gronyaer.

The 26-year-old Grinkiaer said after the meeting that the Red Army would never forget the fans dressed in the form of the national team who stood and applauded to the striker after he scored in a time added by the referee, the second ball. After the match, Gronkiaer stood alone in the central circle and the fans congratulated him in chorus, and Esper himself caught a moment of glory.

After the match, he was asked if he would devote his goal to his mother, who died of cancer, but the football player left this question without comment, although it was clear that tears gathered in his eyes. In an interview with Reuters, Grinkiaer said that this goal was very important for his Denmark, but this ball is extremely important for him for personal reasons.

Grinkiaer arrived in Portugal, exactly three days after he buried his mother. In the second match of the group tournament, he entered the field, replacing Dennis Rommendal. "I finally felt a taste for the game," said Glonkyer after the match, speaking of his replacement.

Meanwhile, the national team coach Morten Olsen said that at first he did not want to let ECPER out on the field. “I released him and at first regretted it, remembering that he had not trained for eight days. Moreover, his psychological state was far to the perfect one. I wanted to return it back to the bench, but decided to leave it and was not mistaken,” Olsen noted.

“Of course, we understood what was happening to him, and what he scored simply perfectly. We knew about what was happening with his mother a year ago. Despite the difficult events, we wanted him to return to the national team and his return took place. Beautiful, did not the goalkeeper Thomas Surensen.

On June seventh, Esper decided that the family now needs his support, more than the national team. Olsen and the team supported the forward of the striker, but releasing everyone agreed that they would accept Esper with open arms if he arrives in the national team during the euro.

“We knew what was happening in his family, but did not repaire him to return. Everyone understood that the euro was a significant tournament, and who, like not Esper, deserved to participate in it,” Olsen said. “I was not ready to play for the starting match of the tournament, but I really wanted to show my best game. And so I scored in an important match for us, representing my country,” added Grinkiaer.

After meeting with the Bulgarians, all cameras were translated into the Essera, then to jubilant stands. "This is a very emotional moment for me. Our fans are fantasy. I will never forget this," said Gronyaer.
