Michael van Gerwen warns Peter Wright he is showing "weakness" with Michael Smith comment
Michael van Gerwen has slammed Peter Wright for comments he allegedly made before last week's Premier League final between Michael Smith and Gary Anderson.The world champion is alleged to have had a dig at Smith’s inability to win finals whilst talking to fellow Scotsman Anderson within ear shot of Bully Boy before the two went up on stage.Anderson was in scintillating form as he beat the Englishman 6-4 in the final, averaging over 104, to claim week six of the Premier League in Nottingham, his first night win.Wright, who beat Smith in the 2022 World Championship final is alleged to have said: “Good luck Gaz, he can't win in a final.”But Van Gerwen believes that Wright is showcasing his own weaknesses by making quips like that.“I wouldn’t make jokes about that because I think you then show your own weakness. You’re crossing a line there I think,” MVG said.“With my ability and my experience, I’ve seen not winning for a while and I know how things go.
