“Maybe sometimes too polite for darts”: Other players could learn from Veenstra says Michael van Gerwen

Michael van Gerwen was clearly a size too big for Richard Veenstra at the World Darts Championship on Wednesday night. The all Dutch encounter in London was won 4-0 by 'Mighty Mike';
So once again MVG did not lose a set at the World Darts Championship, having earlier defeated Keane Barry 3-0. Moreover, Van Gerwen played another strong match, this time averaging over 101. "After Christmas you always want to see where you stand. I was playing well and feel good," Van Gerwen told NOS afterwards.
Speaking to AD.nl, the three-time world champion then expressed praise for his compatriot. ''He is a fantastic guy, many people could learn something from that: very polite, maybe sometimes too polite for darts. The awe? Yes you do feel that, but I think he has a lot of qualities and has done an excellent job this World Championship'', Van Gerwen complimented his opponent Veenstra.
In the next round, Van Gerwen will play either Stephen Bunting or Florian Hempel. Van Gerwen doesn't have a preference. ''That doesn't interest me at all. Whoever comes your way, you have to beat them to win this World Championship,'' said the world number two.

- 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
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
