Van Veen Unfazed by Littler Spat Ahead of Premier League Darts

Gian van Veen has stated that he doesn't need to have a conversation with Luke Littler to put their recent spat behind them. The incident occurred during 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, and the Dutchman believes Littler was "out of order" for celebrating towards the crowd. Although Littler has since shared his perspective on the incident, claiming his celebrations were directed at his girlfriend and dad, Van Veen's opinion remains unchanged. Van Veen insists there are no hard feelings and is focused on moving forward. The Dutchman has been at the center of attention in the darting world recently and enjoys the competitive spirit of the sport, but prefers not to be directly involved in conflicts. Van Veen is looking forward to the next match against Littler, anticipating a challenging game. Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen believes the incident has been blown out of proportion, comparing it to his past fiery clashes with Phil Taylor. The Premier League Darts will continue in Rotterdam, where Van Veen will face Luke Humphries, and Littler will compete against Gerwyn Price. The top four players will progress to Finals Night at The O2 in London on May 28.
