Michael van Gerwen targets Premier League win, criticizes 'weak' rivals

Michael van Gerwen has taken a bold stance ahead of the upcoming Premier League Darts night, branding many of his rivals as 'weak as f***' while expressing confidence in his own abilities despite a slow start to the season. Currently sitting third in the standings, Van Gerwen has yet to win a weekly event, having suffered early exits in recent competitions, including a surprising loss to Michael Flynn. He emphasized the importance of mindset in darts, claiming that he thrives under pressure and enjoys performing in front of crowds. As he prepares to face Rob Cross in Exeter, Van Gerwen remains optimistic about regaining his form, stating that discussions about his performance occur even when he is not at his best. His remarks have sparked conversations among fans and analysts about whether he can reclaim his dominance in the sport. PDC star Matthew Edgar supports Van Gerwen, suggesting he is close to returning to peak form.
