Van Veen Unfazed by Littler Spat Ahead of Premier League Darts

Dutch darts player Gian van Veen has stated that he doesn't need to talk to Luke Littler to put their on-stage disagreement behind them. The incident occurred during a Premier League match in Manchester, where Van Veen won a contentious game. Littler had reacted angrily after Van Veen turned towards him while throwing darts in the deciding leg. Van Veen believed Littler was 'out of order' for celebrating in his direction, which caused him to stare back. However, Littler recently shared his perspective, claiming his celebrations were directed at his girlfriend and dad, not Van Veen. Despite hearing Littler's side of the story, Van Veen's opinion on the matter remains unchanged, although he insists there are no hard feelings between them. Van Veen enjoys the competitive nature of darts but prefers not to be involved in conflicts. He is looking forward to facing Littler again and believes their rivalry will be intense. Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen thinks the incident has been blown out of proportion and that such disagreements are common in the sport. Van Veen is excited to play in Rotterdam, a venue that holds special memories for him, and is eager to experience the crowd's energy as a player this time.
