Darts World Cup: “Pikachu” today against the biggest provocateur in darts! | sport

Today it will be our last remaining German at the Darts World CupRicardo “Pikachu” Pietreczko, really tough. It’s against Scott Williams, semi-finalist at the last World Cup.

The Englishman is not only an excellent player, but also the biggest provocateur in darts!

Last year, Williams played against Martin Schindler in the third round – and then caused a scandal.

He explained to Williams: “The game was incredible for the neutral fan. I have never experienced a crowd like that. I know we won two world wars and a World Cup, but that was… The German fans today were great.”

He then apologized. It was just a statement, not an insult.

This year Williams faced Niko Springer, another German participant, in the first round. The Englishman won 3-1. He tried several times to unsettle his opponent. So he did a no-look 180 to particularly heat up the audience.

He also likes to cheer particularly loudly, excessively and a little too long – so he deliberately disrupts the rhythm of the other person. He also likes to interact with the audience during the game, which many opponents also dislike.

There is also a history with world champion Luke Humphries. After a defeat against Humphries in the group stage of the Grand Slam of Darts 2022, Williams showed his opponent two middle fingers on the stage after congratulating him.

His explanation that he wanted to imitate the wrestling star “Stone Cold” Steve Austin was perceived as rather unbelievable in the darts cosmos.

So Pietreczko has to be prepared for a lot! That’s why it’s even more important today that he stays mentally cool and doesn’t get involved in the Englishman’s games.
