Raymond van Barneveld talks about a bitter Christmas after disgraceful loss at the world championship.
Disappointment of Raymond van Barneveld
According to The Sun: Raymond van Barneveld shared his feelings during this festive season, noting that he has no reason to celebrate after his unsuccessful performance at the world championship. The five-time champion managed to win only two legs during a harsh 0-3 defeat in the first round against world No. 111 Stefan Belmonte at the tournament in Ally Pally. The Dutch legend appeared only as a shadow of his former self on the biggest stage of the sport.
“There was nothing to celebrate,”
As he noted, such results have been a significant disappointment for him.
This performance will be a crucial moment in van Barneveld's career, as a darts legend, he has always been able to achieve high results. We hope he finds the strength and motivation to return to his former form and be able to restore positive impressions for his fans.
