Diogo Portela vertelde openlijk over een dramatisch 2020 nadat hij voor het eerst wist te winnen op het William Hill World Darts Championship.
Portela brak in tranen uit na zijn 3-0 overwinning op Steve Beaton en pakte daarmee zijn eerste overwinning op het WK-podium op zijn vierde poging.
Na zijn overwinning deed Portela zijn verhaal uit de doeken. Voor het uitgebreide interview, in videovorm, kunt u terecht op de Facebook-pagina van Darts Commentaar.
PORTELA: "To win at Ally Pally would be special any year, but this year was even more special.
I've been to some really dark places this year. What I've been through this year I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
I was thinking about quitting darts and even killing myself.
To overcome that and win on the stage after just two or three months, what can I say?
This was a win for myself to prove how strong I am.
I was very nervous at the end of the match when I started to think about winning on stage for the first time. I'm very happy to get over the line against a class player like Steve."
