De Sousa has great inspiration: 'Started with steel tip darts because of Van Barneveld'

José de Sousa has become one of the best players in the world in just two years. The Portuguese is a real late bloomer.
De Sousa conquered a PDC Tour Card in early 2019 for the first time in his career. "Before that I was mainly active in soft tip darts. I live in Spain and here that is much more popular than steel tip darts," said De Sousa on the Not So Late Night Darts Show.

"Actually, it's because of Raymond van Barneveld that I switched to steel tip darts. I saw him on television playing against other top players and then I realised I wanted to be there too. Then I started training really hard and that has brought me to where I am now", concludes the 47-year-old Portuguese.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
