He said that the old football king Davis inadvertently pressured him at Crucible
On May 14, 2024, according to Hegel, Wilson felt pressure on his way to winning the World Championship this month, and Davis unknowingly made things more difficult.
The Warriors defeated Jones 18-14 to claim the first World Championship in their careers, and after defeating Dale, O'Connor, Higgins and Potato, he completed a fairly dominant game.
His path to world championship glory came amid ongoing doubts about the game's home turf, Sheffield's iconic Crucible Theatre.
The current contract to hold the tournament there will last until 2027, and there is a lot of speculation that after the end of the contract, the host city will leave here and either move to a new building in the local area or to a completely different country.
Every World Champion has been crowned at Crucible since 1977, and Wilson's eagerness to lift the trophy in this famous building reminds him of the time pressure he faces while trying to focus on the task at hand.
Wilson told Metropolis: "I went in during the break in the last training session and there were a lot of TV cameras and everybody was doing bits and pieces. Davis said how special and iconic it was to win the championship at Crucible. ”
"He said it wouldn't be the same if it moved away, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, if the pressure wasn't enough!' "Listen to him how amazing it is. I haven't done it yet, but I'm trying! ”
"It's very important to win this time because you never know what's going to happen," he said. No one can take it away from me. ”
The pressure did come out in the closing stages of the game, and Jones began to eat away at Wilson's lead as soon as the game started.
He started the game with a 7-0 lead, but when the game went 17-14, the situation seemed to get quite tense.
Wilson said he never really felt rocked, and he acknowledged that his level of performance may have dropped, but he wasn't nervous about the title just around the corner.
"When it comes to performance, you have to say I'm rocking," he said. But in terms of my inner and spiritual feelings, I'm not. ”
"I'm as solid as a rock in my chair. At 17-14, he kept narrowing the score to within 3 games, but I kept looking for opportunities to pull the score away. I knew it was going to be like this. ”
"I knew the only chance I could lose that game was if I didn't control my emotions and surrendered early on the pitch, so as long as I don't let that happen, in my opinion, I'm always going to win. That's why I've been calm. ”
When the final goal was scored, Wilson celebrated the moment with his family, a thrilling scene that he said came home with tears in his eyes.
He said: "My phone was completely blown up and I looked at it very quickly after I came back from Sheffield. Someone gave me the blessing of winning. My brother ran over and sobbed like a big baby, which made me angry. ”
"My son Finley ran over and shouted, "Dad, you're a world champion!" I just looked at it on my phone and it really got stuck and then I couldn't control it and started crying! It's weird. ”
Trophies, honours and a top prize of £500,000 may not be the end of the road Wilson has worked so hard to earn, and he says there are rumours that he will get a free meal from Caitling.
"Some people say they want me to eat and stay in the town for free, and so on," he said. I was hoping that meant I could have a dozen beers for free anywhere I wanted, but I don't think that's the case.
