His name is Simon Kjær. He plays for the Danish national team and AC Milan. No superstar, no golden boots, no record salary.
And yet he earned a place in the history of sports – not with goals, but with humanity.
When his teammate Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch, Kjær was the first to react. In the crucial seconds, he acted instinctively: He made sure Eriksen didn’t choke on his tongue and began first aid – before medical personnel could even intervene.
But that wasn’t enough: He ensured his teammates formed a protective circle to protect their fallen friend from the hungry cameras. And then – amidst the chaos – he went to Eriksen’s wife in the stands, held her hand, spoke to her, and gave her support as her world threatened to collapse.
This scene, captured in a single image, is worth a thousand words. No trophy, no award, no multi-million dollar contract weighs as much as this moment of humanity.
Parents—don’t ask your son to become the next Messi or Ronaldo.
Ask him to become a human being like Simon Kjær.
