Michael van Gerwen believes that all professionals except Gerwyn Price and is afraid of Luke Littler. Two top stars clearly contradict Sport1.
After the criticism of Michael van Gerwen of the supposed awe of darts professionals in front of Luke Littler, two stars at Sport1 on the sidelines of the German Darts Grand Prix in Munich (now live at Sport1 ).
When shooting at Angermaier, Joe Cullen emphasized on the Viktualienmarkt: “No, I’m not afraid of him. But if everyone is honest with himself, it is the case that nobody really wants to play against him. If he brings his top game, he is almost unbeatable.”
Little dominance is not a big problem for number 23 in the world rankings. “He is great for sport. He puts the sport even more on the map. It escalates even more.”
Van Gerwen recently saw the increased hype around the Littler personnel: “Many show too much awe-that only helps him,” said the Dutch recently at a PDC media appointment. In addition, there are only “two who are not afraid of him: I and Gerwyn Price.” The rest are “fanboys who would crawl in his butt”.
Because of Little: Top stars contradict van Gerwen
Jonny Clayton also countered van Gerwen: “My self -confidence is high, I’m afraid. I have already played four times against Luke. I lost three games, but also won one. That is in my books.”
For the Welsh, as number five in the ranking, one of the favorites in Munich, the duels with Littler are more of a welcome challenge: “If you want to win titles, you have to beat such players. When I play against Luke, I do it with a smile on my face.”
However, the veteran estimates the performance of the child prodigy. “Luke is fantastic at the moment and he has brought darts together with Luke Humphries to a new level. I think I can beat him. If you don’t believe it, there is no reason why you should be up there.”
