After not a Belgian one was chosen, the Premier League darts, the country was now made. A short list in which fans can vote for the player of the year also does not include a single Belgian one.
This short list includes such players such as James Wade, Peter Wright and Nathan Aspinall – who barely performed over the past year – but that’s why none of the main winners, as there are no main winners Mike The Decker AND Dimitri van den Bergh.
“What will it do to win a major?” The Icon of the Belgian dart Clarys wondered HLN. “It was once Valhalla, now PDC turns her into exactly the second tournaments. This is really another blow to the face for both Mike and Dimitri. “

Because PDC is very sensitive to criticism. That is why I think that perhaps more strange, that Dimitri is not among them. Because in addition to opening Great Britain, he also did well in other directions and won the floor tournament. “
“He still has to be careful not to enter his belt too much and become a personality of non grata,” says Clarys. “Mike must now let the arrows speak above all. But of course it is easier to say than to do. Because he actually has the status now that Dimitri was two years ago. Everyone wants to knock him down now. “
Clarys himself experienced that it was not always easy to get to British sport as a Belgian. “Sometimes it really fought for losing the battle. Their will is the law. “
“But we shouldn’t despair. Many Belgian talents are coming. During VTM Next Gen Darts Academy (where Clarys acts as a coach and supervisor of young players, NVDR), there are as many as ten to fifteen players who require a development route, PDC youth circuit.
