Murphy Jr. Stan Murray looks a lot like him, he is often reported and followed by the World Taiwan Federation, I'm not targeting Stan, but what is World Snooker doing? How does this kid perform in the championship event? I don't even know who he is. Luca Brecel is the boy who should be on the radar of the World Taiwan Federation. But they didn't. ”
Asked about the response to Gilbert's remarks, WTF said: "We include a wide variety of players in our promotional videos, usually focusing on the most promising players. Last summer, we invested a lot of resources in filming a special report on Luca Brecel, filming on location in Belgium, including interviewing him inside his Ferrari. ”
"We've had a lot of stuff about Brecel throughout the season, including interviews and highlight videos, and he's front and center of our artwork into the World Championships. ”
David Gilbert, a 2019 Crucible semifinalist, was asked about his least favorite draw result before Thursday morning's draw, and the only thing he wanted to avoid was Ronnie O'Sullivan and Saturday's 10am opener.
He drew one, but not the other. The last thing he wanted happened anyway. He doesn't want to run into the Rockets or the defending champion Luca Brecel, because the Rockets are very powerful, and Luka is his own idol and can't be ruthless to his idol in the game.
He said: "Listen, I'm not going to talk rocket nonsense. I'm tired of playing him, and I think I drew him two or three times in the first round. It's nothing short of a disaster. I played well, but I was still abused by the other side. I don't want to go through that again. ”
"On the first weekend, I'll be playing the opener against Luca Brecel at 10am. It's shocking. I need to relax for a few days and go to the gym to work out. ”
"I don't mind the afternoon, I always start playing at 10 a.m. As a result, a lot of fans don't even think I'm a player at the World Championships. Unless I'm the defending champion, you and I wouldn't want to go to Crucible on Saturday at 10am because that's a terrible playing time. ”
But it's not all bad, it's much more than that, and Gilbert is feeling very optimistic about his game right now, just like his impressive performance in ranked matches.
He said: "I've probably played a lot more snooker in the last four weeks than I have played in the last two years. I've played a lot better, but I don't know what I'm doing unless I've played some fights. I played well, moved around, made some good clearances and so on and I'm looking forward to going to Crucible now. ”
"Listen, I just want to move forward now. I'm kind of stuck in the mud. It's time to start over. (Welcome to click to follow AB for reprinting, please indicate the source, thank you)
