Gilbert thinks Luca Brecel didn't get what he deserved: I found it unbelievable
On April 19, 2024, according to Hegel, Gilbert believes that since the world champion won the championship in Crucible, the snooker authorities have not put him in the center enough, and he believes that some less deserving players have been promoted more than Luca Brecel.
The pair are scheduled for the first round of the World Championships, where they will open the tournament, which will take place this Saturday.
David Gilbert impressed with a win over veterans Lilly and Shaw Kwok Dong in Wednesday's qualifying round and will face defending champion Luca Brecel.
Before learning of the draw, Potato was asked if Luka's surprise victory last year inspired him, and he delivered a passionate speech on behalf of the Belgian bullets.
Potato is a huge fan of Luka's accomplishments 12 months ago, and he doesn't think the World Taiwan Federation has given him enough credit.
"People forget that Luka had won three or four major tournaments before that," he said. You're promoting Lisowski every day, and he hasn't even won the championship yet. But he gets more coverage than Luca. I think it's incredible that the WTF has given Lisowski so much attention. ”
"I liked the driver. He's a great player and looks lovely. But we have a player who is the cutest kid in the world and he has the highest talent. He spent all his money. Live the life of a playboy. He plays the game the way kids love it. He should be the center of attention for all. ”
"I never watched the game, but I watched the World Championships. I've never really sat down to watch a snooker game. But those two weeks were definitely exceptional, and I was blown up on Sunday morning and it was absolutely shocking. My friend wanted me to watch the World Championships for two weeks. ”
"Luca's performance last year was by far the greatest snooker game I've ever seen. It's incredible. Very well done. The next time I see him at the game, it's probably August, I don't know Luca, but I have to go over and tell him he's great. Fair to him. It's unbelievable. He beat the best fighters. He defeated a child (Si Jiahui) behind him. How did that happen? He did it his own way, and it's amazing. ”
The 42-year-old veteran asked if Luka's stellar performances at Sheffield inspired him, but he really wanted to continue his promotion route.
He said: "I like moments like this, but I don't have the ability of Luca and if I had the same money as him, I would probably spend it like he did. ”
"This kid is extremely talented and very good at snooker. I don't know why the WTF hasn't focused on Luka this year. ”
"It's not against Lisowski or anyone else. I looked at the table here (next to his chair during the game) and I poured some water on it and I put it in front of this lad. I don't know who he is. (Welcome to click to pay attention to Runwu AB, please indicate the source for reprinting, thank you)
