Mark Williams offers timely warning to new world snooker champion Luca Brecel – 'I took my foot off the gas'
Mark Williams believes Luca Brecel must learn to motivate himself as world champion this season if he wants to remain in the hunt for the game's top prizes. The three-time Crucible winner Williams – champion in 2000, 2003 and 2018 – was full of praise for Brecel, who defeated him 13-11 in the second round on his way to claiming the sport's top prize with an 18-15 final win over Mark Selby. Ad But he also feels 'The Belgian Bullet' will be a major scalp for the rest of the World Snooker Tour after his stunning exploits in Sheffield saw Brecel become the first winner of the blue-chip tournament from continental Europe.
