Littler Explains 'Cry Baby' Remark Aimed at Van Veen

Luke Littler has shed light on the reason behind his 'cry baby' comment directed at Gian van Veen following their intense Premier League Darts match in Manchester. The controversy stemmed from Van Veen's actions during the deciding leg, where he turned towards Littler while throwing match darts. Littler, in a recent interview, shared his perspective on the incident, stating that Van Veen had effectively given up and that his behavior was unwarranted. Van Veen had previously expressed his dissatisfaction with Littler's celebration, claiming it was 'out of order.' However, Littler maintains that Van Veen's reaction was uncalled for, especially considering he had already conceded the match. The young darts player also discussed his poor performance in Brighton, attributing it to a lack of practice and a general disinterest in being there. With the possibility of the two players meeting in the semi-finals in Rotterdam, Littler is focused on moving forward and concentrating on his game, despite the rivalry that has developed between them.
