Darts star Micky van Gerwen has revealed that he \u2018does not care\u2019 about the style of his World Championship defeat to Michael Smith last January. The pair played out what is largely regarded as the greatest leg of darts at Ally Pally, though MVG has already moved on from the defeat and is hoping to go one better this time.<\/p>\n
Van Gerwen and Smith\u2019s final went viral earlier this year when the latter secured his maiden world title in sensational fashion. MVG threw away the opportunity to land a perfect nine-darter when he missed double 12.<\/p>\n
With the pressure amped up, Smith stepped up to go one better and put himself in pole position to win the World Championship. \u2018The Bully\u2019 completed the perfect nine-darter to send Ally Pally into a frenzy, with clips of the moment going viral on social media.<\/p>\n
However, MVG has revealed that he hasn\u2019t even looked back at the leg and has already moved on from the defeat. He explained: \u201cIt was only one leg and I don’t really care about all the fuss around it. \u200cPerfect darts? It\u2019s history, but you need to keep looking to the future, not living in the past. It just happened, you move on.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Fallon Sherrock dumped out of World Darts Championship as opponent defies boos[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately I was part of it. I haven\u2019t watched it back. What’s the point? I also lost the final against Andrew Gilding in the UK Open. Stupid b*****d, but it can happen\u200c.<\/p>\n \u201cI’ve always said the big trees catch the wind, and I am a very big tree. The other players are still most happy when they beat me or when I am out of the tournament. It was the same story with Phil Taylor because he dominated the game for so long.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/4\/590x\/secondary\/Michael-van-Gerwen-5121532.jpg?r=1702918297787\")
