The Iceman appreciates crowd support during victory over Gulas
The crowd’s motivation in the “Alexandra Palace” match had a significant impact on the player of the tournament, who previously expressed his appreciation for the change in the crowd’s reaction in his favor, stressing that the support was a helping factor in achieving his victory over Gulas.
The 40-year-old “Iceman,” a former rugby player, moved forward thanks to the support of the fans present in the early rounds.
The Iceman said: “Great crowd. I don’t always get that, but over the last year to 18 months, maybe longer, the crowd has been great with me.”
“Simply, whenever you move inside, you can often feel the hair on the back of your neck.”
“I don’t usually have that at Alexandra Palace, but I waited for it this year, and I showed why. They were right behind me.”
“I was confident in the game, but when the fans get behind you, you get a 10% boost.”
The Iceman will meet the Dutch player Wesley Plaisier in Sunday’s round, December 21.
