“Van Barneveld is now doing what he should do, he can be found in the gym, doing earplugs against the noise in the hall and he is. focused again, “Taylor spoke respectfully about the Dutchman. “I had him a long time not see you play like that. Raymond is back where it belongs. He is a phenomenal player.”



Darts Classic

At the highest step of the stage was Van Barneveld after a week Grand Slam of Darts, however, not yet available. However, the former postman in Wolverhampton had still seen to rise to great heights. That resulted in the semifinals your darts classics. In other words, a confrontation with darts legend and sixteen time world champion Taylor. A poster to feast on, as revealed in the last twenty years several times.

There is always something happening. Usually carry sporting peaks dominate, but in 2012 there was the row between the two men. Having won his semi-final at the World Championships Taylor found that the congratulations of his opponent too long failed to materialize, which earned Van Barneveld to the eye of the cameras on a huge scolding. “Fuck off,” Taylor snapped. Deep shame on the British side and appropriate apology eventually led to peace. “I never understood anything about it, ” Van Barneveld looked last year Telesport once more back to the incident.” He did the next day neatly made his excuses. No problem, we are good friends again. “



Crucial moments

The 43rd mutual meeting between the darts greats was unfortunately not so high or exciting as previous times, which Taylor preferably triumphed 29 times. The averages hovered around 100. Still a respectable score, but nowadays the standard higher. Michael van Gerwen way threw in the quarterfinals against Kim Huybrechts an average of 111.05 and is in the top parties frequently minimum tapped the 105.

The tension recouped much. Indirectly, the decision fell in the stage that Taylor at a 3-4 disadvantage five consecutive legs won. Thus, the 55-year-old hit darter from Stoke-on -Trent an important gap (8-4). ‘Barney’ fought like a tiger and tried to close the gap. Occasionally seemed to be the turning point. At crucial moments ‘failed’ it anyway and so it was for one missed double not 13-14, but 12-15. With a 12-16 defeat as a logical consequence.

Harsh reality

Accept and continue, as Van Barneveld showed to the whole world darts see. Heartfelt hugs with Taylor, shaking hands and then expanded to thank the audience. So he got his feeling might not be the loser of the stage. The harsh reality is different. No repeat of the final of 2012, in which he beat compatriot Van Gerwen. No dream triumph and not the big money check of 140,000 euros belonging to the winner.

No. The road is still long for Van Barneveld. “I want the best darts player ever to time. All I know deep down inside that I never will be. That’s Phil Taylor, ” though its all meaningless words just before the Grand Slam of Darts. ,, Winning is important to me then join in. “So I’m a bad loser.”

Even though Taylor threw extra salt into the wounds, the 48 Henki is another step closer to his goal. Who knows, he pulls it soon at the World Cup, because peaks can ‘Barney’ sure. That evidence he ever delivered in 1998, 1999, 2003, 2005 (all BDO and 2007 (PDC). But these five world titles taste for more. Everyone is allowed Van Barneveld fear again, now the protagonist himself only requiring the ultimate crowning organize working.

Van Gerwen

Michael van Gerwen finally won in the final with 16-13 in legs of Phil Taylor. Thus wrote the 26-year-old Dutchman his only major title missing in his Name
