World Matchplay 2025: RayMond Van Barneveld is ready to show why he is the best against Michael Van Gereen | Arrows news

RayMond Van Barneveld admits that he still wants to show that he can compete with the pre -Global World match for 2025, live on Sky Sports.

Van Barneveld Michael Van Gerwen will face a match from the first round of The World Matchplay on Monday, July 21 in Blackpool Gardens in Winter.

All-Guts is one of the large glasses in the first round in one of the most difficult championships around it, where Van Gerwen won three times while Van Barneveld fell in the final match by Phil Taylor in 2010.

While Van GERWEN is still the number 3, with “Barney” currently in World No 36, Van Barneveld wants to show that he can still compete with the best in sport in his day.

In fact, he wants to make sure not to have to deal with this losing feeling and show the reason for being considered a winner again.

Van Pardlight told Van Parville newspaper I love arrows Podcast.

“It is always great to perform a crowd as in Germany, the United Kingdom, or anywhere we go to the present time. This is incredible. This keeps you going.

“But sometimes you still want to prove that you can still show what you are good in. I’m still No. 36 in the world, I am 58 years old. I am still here, I’m enjoying.

“This is not always great, you have to deal with defeats sometimes three or four days a week. No one sees this.

“We play in Midweeks, play two, three rounds or professional qualifications, then go to the Euro tour. So sometimes you have to deal with three or four losers per week. I can’t even deal with once a week.

“So imagine that you have to deal with that three, four times a week in dealing with defeats. This is only one week out of 52 I am talking about.

“I am a winner and a time has changed. For years, I was with Phil Taylor, Michael Van Gerwen, Gary Anderson. People have always spoken about you. But this is no longer happening.”

The global Matchplay game is always a stage that big players want to make their fingerprints, and this is not different from Van Barneveld, which focuses on ensuring the improvement of its shape in the disciplines.

He added: “It is not a secret that I am in the disciplines, I do a very bad job and lose the first rounds all the time. She tries to find an answer to where this is wrong, what I need to control, and what I need to do.”

“Of course, I am proud, but proud that does not bring you anywhere, you want to get results.

“So it is really good for people to talk about you and still say,” Oh, Wow, he is still there, he is still doing it and hopes to be proud. “

“But in the end, you want results and results, you feel happy. Then you want to do more and more.”

Prepare for the scene: MVG versus RVB!

For former player Paul Nicholson, the match between Van Pardlight and Van Gerwin will be a scene again, especially since the first will raise his match against the latter.

Nicholson said on I love arrows.

“One, Raymond will appear in this game, you know that, because he wants to overcome Michael at this stage.

“He did in 2009 in completely different circumstances, of course, but Raymond will raise his game in the same way that Gary Anderson always raises against Michael as well.

“It will be a scene. Michael needs grinding in the next few days and prepares for himself to high dust.

“I will never turn a blind eye to Michael because he suffers from perseverance and when he is against some people, he seems to always find that little spark.

“I have a feeling that he will need it.”
