“Premier League is a team game in the sense that you are all together for so long and you have to stick together,” adds Priestley, having Darts Premier League experience. “If it was someone like Gerwyn Price, you think he could have a fine and shouldn’t be different for Littler.”
Priestley also believes that there may be a real competition between Van Gerwen and Littler. “He probably reached Van Gerwen that he was a great star in darts for so long, and now all daylight was received and is no longer in the center of attention,” he assesses. “Van Gerwen said Littler is late and I think it’s fair. It is also because all the attention is now on Littler after Van Gerwen spent so long that he is the main man. “
“All eyes and conversations are now about Littler, and Van Gerwen did not mind that when it was about him, now it has changed and there may be good battles between them in the future,” Priestley sums up. “Van Gerwen may be afraid that he will not become the world champion again, taking into account the talent with whom he wants and it will hurt when he dominates so long.”
