After Luke Littler’s controversial post, Werner von Moltke, Managing Director of PDC Europe, advertises for understanding.
Werner von Moltke reacted with understanding to Luke Littler’s mysterious post. After his end at the German Darts Grand Prix in Munich, he wrote in his Instagram story: “I shouldn’t have been in Munich, but still had to play. The next tournament for me in Germany is Dortmund and I am happy to say that.”
Von Moltke, Managing Director of PDC Europe, said on Sport1 in the program ” Madhouse – The Sport1 Darts Show “: “This boy is 18 years old. You shouldn’t forget that. He has been in the spotlight for two years. You shouldn’t put every word on the gold edge.”
Luke Littler is the latest darts world champion
Moltke did not want to rule out that Littler may no longer come to Germany this year, but also campaigned for not showing an overreaction because of this post.
“I just want to say, leave the boy alone. These are emotions, something goes out, you can also sleep over it a few times,” said the darts boss, who also referred to the boos against the world champion.
“It is also a different situation for him. In England he is the absolute superstar, in Germany and in other countries it is also boowed,” said von Moltke.
By Moltke trusts on consultants from Littler
Nevertheless, he was confident that Littler will continue to start in Germany in the future. He mainly relies on the consultants of the teenager
“At some point he will certainly speak to his manager who says: ‘You, think about it again with Germany.’ Then maybe the supplier comes and says: ‘You, our products are also sold in Germany’ – and not bad at all.
Should Littler really only return to Germany at the end of October in Dortmund, he would leave out some European Tour events in the Federal Republic in between-including the World Cup of Darts in June with England.
Littler surprisingly failed in the semi-finals of the Easter tournament in the Bavarian capital 4: 7 on the Dutchman Gian van Veen.
