Unhappy Michael van Gerwen has told late Luke Littler he's not a baby any more and he needs to act professionally.The three-times world champion took the teenager to task ahead of their Premier League clash in Belfast.
Van Gerwen and the other competitors were left waiting around at their media launch for the event as Littler didn’t show up on time.When asked to describe the scene of the kid turning up 25 minutes late, Van Gerwen firstly said: “Who?” When it was put to him again, he said, “45 minutes late, you mean.”Van Gerwen then continued: “Yeah, They need to stop treating him as a baby, eh?
He’s not baby any more, he’s 18 years old now. No, it happens, you have to learn the hard way. It’s a professional sport, so you have to be responsible for your actions as well, simple as that.“If he turns up late for an interview, I don’t really mind.
