- The defending world champion Wilson ignited the row on the eve of the tournament
- Wilson criticized Murphy for being “ non -professional ” during the masters final
- Murphy wildly struck back while the explosive war of words warms up to the crucible
Shaun Murphy accused Kyren Wilson of having a “chip on his shoulder” and of not being an “appropriate guy” in an explosive word of words between the defending masters and the world champions.
Wilson, who started defense of the crucible title against Lei Peifan of China on Saturday, put on the row on the eve of the tournament when he criticized Murphy to be “ non -professional ” between the sessions during the final of the masters of January.
However, the warrior refused to disclose exactly what his opponent would have done in the Palace of Alexandra’s Palace, surrounding a “confused” Murphy more.
“I was sore when I saw this comment because my professionalism is something that I am proud of,” said the magician, who beat Wilson 10-7 in their Masters confrontation. “I scratch my head on what he could refer to.
“It is a really poor form on him to say it as he said. He could have been a good guy and addressed me himself. He had months.
“He did not have the bottle to call me anything and he let everyone guess. How did he dared to do this, and don’t even be man enough to tell everyone he is talking about?

Wilson refused to disclose exactly what her opponent would have done in the Palace of Alexandra’s Palace, more hindering a Murphy “ Deconed ” ‘
“We have known each other for a long time. He has always had a little chip on his shoulder that I was the first (to win the world title) and was ahead of him.
“Maybe that’s what we see. It may be the right old-fashioned green eyes monster.
Murphy begins his own crucible campaign against Daniel Wells on Tuesday when he asked to win a second world title, 20 years after his first 22 -year -old qualifier.
“I think Shaun Murphy, ignorant, ignorant of 22 years old, would have told you about” F-OFF “if you had said when I would not have a second world title now,” he admitted.
“I think it shows how good everyone is. I am a much better player now, but over the age of 20, the standard has definitely increased.
“But winning the masters completely rekindled my belief and my confidence in my own game. I come here not only by believing that I can win, but knowing that I can win.
“The 11 players who won the three Triple Crown tournaments are a special club. But inside, there is another small private area for several world champions. I am happy to be in a club – and I put my application to join the other!
Murphy also defended the way he combines by playing with comments for the BBC, insisting that his televised work will actually help his Creuset chances.
“I receive a lot of criticism for that, but people do not understand the mechanics,” he added. “We are entitled to two training sessions of 30 minutes a day here. That’s it. No amount of comments could never hinder.
“It gives me something to do. This takes away any potential that comes out of socialization or meeting people for a drink. I see it as a very good distraction. He’s a win-win.
