Van Veen Unfazed by Littler Spat Ahead of Premier League Darts in Rotterdam

Gian van Veen remains unmoved by his recent on-stage spat with Luke Littler, stating that he doesn't feel the need for a conversation to resolve their differences. The incident occurred during Night Nine of the Premier League in Manchester, where Van Veen emerged victorious in a contentious match. Littler had reacted angrily when Van Veen turned towards him while throwing match darts, which the Dutchman believed was a case of his opponent being 'out of order' for celebrating in his direction. However, Littler has since shared his perspective, claiming that his celebrations were directed at his girlfriend and father, not Van Veen. Despite hearing Littler's side of the story, Van Veen's opinion on the matter remains unchanged, although he insists that there are no hard feelings between them. The Dutch No 1 expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming Premier League Darts in Rotterdam, where he will face Luke Humphries on his first home soil appearance. Van Veen is looking forward to experiencing the electric atmosphere at the Rotterdam Ahoy, a venue that holds special memories for him as a fan. Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen downplayed the significance of the spat between Van Veen and Littler, suggesting that it has been blown out of proportion. The 'Green Machine' believes that the incident was nothing more than a heat-of-the-moment reaction and that too much is being read into it. As the Premier League Darts heads to Rotterdam, the focus shifts to the crucial night of action, with ranking points up for grabs and the top four players vying for a spot in the Finals Night at The O2 in London.
