# Tottenham Hotspur: Fans react to footage of Christian Eriksen’s Inter Milan debut

**Christian Eriksen made his debut for Inter Milan on Wednesday in their 2-1 Coppa Italia win against Fiorentina, coming on as a substitute for the final 24 minutes of the game ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdaten/spieler/69633)).**

The Danish international only moved to the Serie A outfit on Tuesday, joining from Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.9 million ([BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51262499)).

It wasn’t the best debut for Eriksen, who in such a short amount of time on the pitch managed to lose possession on eight occasions, whilst both of his attempted crosses and all three of his attempted long balls were inaccurate ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/christian-eriksen/105734)).

One of those crosses which failed to find a teammate came from a free-kick, video footage of which has been doing the rounds on Twitter. Indeed the Dane’s cross failed to beat the first man, a trait he became well known for at Spurs with a statistic emerging in August that at the time 62% of his corners in the Premier League didn’t go beyond the first man ([@SpursStatMan](https://twitter.com/spursstatman/status/1158753924465201152?lang=en)).

After seeing footage of the free-kick, many Tottenham fans have been quick to react on Twitter with many mocking the 27-year-old for his poor delivery and one saying that it was “[classic Eriksen](https://twitter.com/ASpurs_Fan/status/1222636736171429888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)“. Here is what some had to say…
