He adds that "The quick response of the doctors saved Eriksen's life, while otherwise, there is no doubt that we would lose the Danish footballer."
As PASP claims, "Despite the above incident, but also of the rest that have followed until today in football stadiums around the world, unfortunately in Cyprus there are still not in all stadiums the appropriate conditions and equipment to deal with cases of sudden cardiac arrest."
He also points out "The need to clarify all the needs in the stadiums and primarily the training of all players, based on the relevant instructions of UEFA, which must be implemented immediately, in their entirety, in our country."
