Van Veen Unfazed by Littler Spat as Premier League Darts Heads to Rotterdam

Gian van Veen remains unmoved by the controversy surrounding his recent match against Luke Littler, stating that he doesn't feel the need to discuss the incident with his opponent. Van Veen's comments come ahead of the Premier League Darts event in Rotterdam, where he is set to face Luke Humphries. The Dutch player has been at the center of attention following his win over Littler, which was marked by a heated exchange between the two. Littler had reacted angrily after Van Veen turned towards him while throwing match darts, prompting Van Veen to label him as "out of order". However, Littler has since spoken out about the incident, claiming that his celebrations were directed at his girlfriend and father, and that Van Veen was being a "cry baby". Despite hearing Littler's side of the story, Van Veen's opinion on the matter remains unchanged. "It's a difficult one, but I don't really need a conversation with him," Van Veen said. "He's had his say, and I still have the same view as I did when it happened." Van Veen has also stated that he doesn't harbor any hard feelings towards Littler and is looking forward to their potential rematch in the semi-finals. The incident has sparked debate among fans and pundits, with some arguing that the controversy has been blown out of proportion. Michael van Gerwen, a fellow Dutch player, believes that too much is being made of the incident, saying that it's "absolutely nothing" and that people are trying to make a story out of it. The Premier League Darts event in Rotterdam is set to be a crucial night of action, with Van Veen facing Humphries and Littler taking on Gerwyn Price. The top four players in the league table will progress to the Finals Night at The O2 in London on May 28.
