But he insists that he is not one of the favorites to win the tournament, given his previous form and day-by-day plans to win the tournament.
He added: Yes, winning three world championship titles is a dream Michael Van Gerwen.
“I would have beaten Jockey Wilson and Gary Anderson Before they get it, though, there’s still a way to go.
“I’m not a favorite. It’s ridiculous. There’s still a long way to go.

“He is the man to watch over me.”
