Van Veen Unfazed by Littler Spat as Premier League Darts Heads to Rotterdam
Dutch darts player Gian van Veen has stated that he does not need to talk to Luke Littler to resolve their disagreement following their altercation at the Premier League in Manchester. Van Veen emerged victorious in a contentious match, which sparked a heated reaction from Littler. The Dutchman believes Littler overstepped by celebrating in his direction, causing him to stare back. However, Littler has since explained that his celebrations were intended for his girlfriend and father, not Van Veen. Despite hearing Littler's side of the story, Van Veen's opinion on the incident remains unchanged, although he claims to hold no grudge. The rivalry between the two players may be rekindled in the semi-finals of the Premier League Darts in Rotterdam, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Van Veen is looking forward to competing in his home country and is eager to put the controversy behind him. Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen has downplayed the significance of the incident, suggesting that it has been exaggerated by the media. The Premier League Darts will continue in Rotterdam, with Van Veen facing Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen taking on Jonny Clayton. The top four players will progress to the Finals Night at The O2 in London on May 28.
