Smoking Michael van Gerwen storms out of the interview and says: ‘figure it out, bye’

MICHAEL VAN GERWEN was left fuming with an interviewer after his early departure from the Premier League on Thursday.

The Dutchman was defeated in his first round clash with Luke Littler, bringing his night in Nottingham to a premature end.

Van Gerwen was comfortably defeated 6-2 by the teenage sensation who made it FIVE consecutive losses during the rise of the world number two.

It is the first time in twelve years that MVG has suffered five defeats in a row.

However, he still put in a good performance during the match with an average of 110.94, and perhaps that is why he showed frustration when interviewed live on TV by broadcaster Viaplay.

After his defeat, he was asked if he had lost five times on the bounce and he gave an icy answer to the interviewer.

He said: “If you want to make it negative, you have to do it nicely. That this has never happened before?

“Then you never looked at me, of course that has happened before.”

The Green Machine then dropped one final line before disappearing off-screen and leaving the interview.

He said, “So if you want to make it negative… figure it out, bye.”

Despite his defeat against Littler, Van Gerwen is still in a good position in the Premier League.

He sits second in the standings thanks to his three consecutive night wins at the start of the season in Berlin, Glasgow and Newcastle.

For now, he will have to shake off the frustration of defeat against the in-form Littler and focus on his next game.

Van Gerwen will take on Gerwyn Price in his quarter-final match next Thursday as the Premier League heads to Dublin.
