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

Dutch darts player Gian van Veen has stated that he doesn't need to talk to Luke Littler to put their recent on-stage spat behind them. Van Veen emerged victorious from a contentious match in early April, which saw Littler react angrily after Van Veen turned towards him during a dramatic leg. Van Veen believes Littler was 'out of order' for celebrating in his direction, causing him to stare back. However, Littler has since shared his side of the story, claiming his celebrations were aimed at his girlfriend and dad, not Van Veen. Despite hearing Littler's perspective, Van Veen's opinion on the incident remains unchanged, although he insists there are no hard feelings between them. Van Veen is looking forward to the next match against Littler, expecting him to be more fired up than ever. Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen thinks the spat between Van Veen and Littler has been blown out of proportion, suggesting that if their incident was a big deal, he and Phil Taylor would have been in the news every week due to their own fiery clashes. The Premier League Darts is set to continue in Rotterdam, with Van Veen hosting Luke Humphries on his first Premier League night on home soil, while Michael van Gerwen faces Jonny Clayton, and Luke Littler takes on Gerwyn Price.
