Michael van Gerwen was in a hurry.

The number one in the world completed its task in the third round of the Darts World Cup at express speed.

After the 4-0 win against Ricky Evans, the number one in the world rankings was on Sky UK in a TV interview and drummed hard on their own behalf.

“It feels good when you show a great game like this one.

I can not complain.

If I needed a good leg, I did it.

If you can do these things then you will be ready to do more damage. "

Already after his win at the start against Ryan Murray he presented himself with a broad chest and just to be on the safe side verbalized what he had already made clear: “I'm back!” He's back, out of the form crisis and maximally hungry on his fourth world title.

The end of Peter Wright, who after winning the final a year ago could have taken his position at the top of the world rankings but was eliminated 3: 4 against Gabriel Clemens, he commented with a grin: "Annoying," said van Gerwen and immediately followed up with the explanation for the surprising end: "If you have a bit of bad luck on the doubles and don't show your best game, people like ..." Van Gerwen paused, looked at reporter Laura Woods and expert Mark Webster questioningly: " What's his name?

This German?

The Giant ... "

The Dutchman had forgotten the name.

Webster had to help out: "Gabriel Clemens." Whatever.

"This German?"

This is Gabriel Clemens

He doesn't care who comes and tries to get in his way: “Peter Wright, Gerwyn Price, Gabriel Clemens, Ratajski.

I do not care.

I have to make sure I'm doing the right things at the right moment.

I'm here for one reason only.

I want the title. "
