Van Veen Unfazed by Littler Spat as Premier League Heads to Rotterdam

Gian van Veen has stated that he does not require a conversation with Luke Littler to put their recent on-stage spat behind them. The incident occurred at Night Nine of the Premier League in Manchester, where Van Veen won a contentious match. Littler had reacted angrily after Van Veen turned towards him while throwing match darts in the deciding leg. Van Veen believes Littler was 'out of order' for celebrating towards the crowd, which led to Van Veen staring at Littler. Littler has since spoken about the incident, stating that his celebrations were directed at his girlfriend and dad, and that Van Veen was a 'cry baby' for putting his darts down before the match was over. Despite hearing Littler's perspective, Van Veen's opinion on the matter remains unchanged. Van Veen insists there are no hard feelings and is looking forward to potentially facing Littler in the semi-finals. Michael van Gerwen has downplayed the incident, stating that it is being blown out of proportion and that similar incidents have occurred between him and Phil Taylor in the past without receiving as much attention. The Premier League is set to continue in Rotterdam, where Van Veen will face Luke Humphries and Littler will face Gerwyn Price. Van Veen is excited to play in front of his home crowd and is looking to build on his current form.
