“No words, except that it was really bad”: Van den Bergh makes an honest analysis after a painful World Cup exit
2 min
Dimitri Van den Bergh had a disappointing evening at the Darts World Cup. The Belgian lost ingloriously against Scot Darren Beveridge (0-3) and made his disappointment clear afterwards. Despite the “dark days”, the Belgian shows himself to be grateful and combative.
“There are no words for tonight, except that it was really bad,” Dimitri Van den Bergh wrote on social media.
“I know I worked hard, but on stage I completely lacked confidence and self-confidence.”
Despite the painful defeat, Van den Bergh showed good sportsmanship: “Thank you for all the support worldwide and good luck to Darren Beveridge. Good luck mate!”
The Belgian darts player emphasized that he is not giving up: “One day I will come back, because I will continue to work hard.”
Fans cheer Van den Bergh on
This is a heavy blow for Van den Bergh, who previously achieved great performances at the highest level. The messages from his fans make him happy.
“Wooow guys, this is incredible. I didn’t expect this! Thank you for all the support and love I get,” he responds on his Instagram.
“In these dark days you make me smile. You are all wonderful!”
The “Dreammaker” emphasizes that he is not giving up: “I will keep practicing! I will fight back!”
Can Andy Baetens and Mike De Decker still turn the tide?
After the 0 out of 3 for the Belgians, all hope now lies with Andy Baetens (PDC-78) and Mike De Decker (PDC-18).
Baetens will face the Dutchman Dirk van Duijvenbode (PDC-29) tonight.
De Decker will play later this week against David Munyua, a Kenyan qualifier.
