After the match between Raymond van Barneveld and Chris Dobey there was this funny moment between Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld off stage.
Reporter: “If you watched Raymond van Barneveld walking as ill as he is, you could have never expected him to win, right?
Michael van Gerwen: “Yeah, even after watching the first 10 legs, I still didn’t think he would win the game. He was shaking his head more often then anybody else again.”
Reporter: “Did you watch the match backstage?”
Michael van Gerwen: “Yes, we have a television backstage. So we are all watching and are all talking about it. I even told him after the game, before he even had spoken to his wife, I said “Ray, you are such a lazy #$#%$ sometimes. I told him right in his face and he replied, “Yes, I know, you are right.” I said: “Look, you are smiling and taking out 144. We can all talk about him like we do but that man has quite a track record.”
