"I don't give a damn about that" - Michael van Gerwen not paying attention to Gian van Veen form

Michael van Gerwen withstood a formidable test with verve in the second round of the European Darts Championship. He defeated Ricardo Pietreczko at the last sixteen 10-7 thanks to an average of 104.
Thanks to a strong second session, including a 10-darter and a 12-darter, Van Gerwen took control. ''Mighty Mike'' was happy afterward that he was able to quieten the German fans quickly. ''Six thousand Germans who are against you, you have to try to quiet them down by playing well and I think I succeeded,'' he commented to Viaplay afterwards.

According to Van Gerwen, the result did not do justice to the game and should have been a lot wider. ''I think he should be very happy that he got to win so many legs, because I should have finished it earlier, but I'm not dissatisfied.''
On Sunday afternoon, Van Gerwen will take on compatriot Gian van Veen, considered the rising star in darts this year, in the quarterfinals. ''That will be a fun match,'' expects 'Mighty Mike'.
''Gian is in great form and is playing well, but I can't complain either. That Gian is in fantastic form? I don't give a damn about that. He has to be my next victim, no excuses,'' Van Gerwen said.

- 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
