Luke Littler and Luke Humphries are currently the best darts players in the world. James Wade, who is now part of the “Old Guard”, has more and more problems in direct duels and recently had to insert a hearty broke against Littler. Even before the match, he is said to have called the world champion and Humphries as “lazy”.
In the round of 16 at the World Masters, James Wade lost 0: 4 against darts world champion Luke Littler, without a darts on a double – a bitter clap for “The Machine”. But did he criticize Littler and ex-world champion Luke Humphries as lazy in the lead?
In his column in the “Daily Star” Wade is now fighting against the allegations: “While the drama took place on stage, I seemingly accidentally triggered a controversy away from the stage. I did not refer to the Lukes, Littler and Humphries As some have said.
Darts: James Wade shows himself self -critical
Rather, Wade wanted to make it clear that neither of them had reached the level of absolute legends: “What I said and really believe is that the two Lukes are not yet at the level of Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen, But they are phenomenal players. “
“For the rest of us, the following applies: if we want to achieve a level where we can keep up with the two Lukes in their current form and with Michael in its best form, we have to be a little less lazy – and I conclude myself with myself A – and improve our game in order to be able to keep up with the standard you set, “said the 41 -year -old self -critically.
Incidentally, Littler himself reacted confidently to the alleged criticism. In the interview after the game against his compatriot, he said: “I didn’t see it. But he is right, I am also lazy in the training room.”
