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. 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 after Van Veen turned towards him when throwing match darts, which the Dutchman felt was justified due to Littler's celebrations towards the crowd. However, Littler has since shared his side of the story, claiming his celebrations were directed at his girlfriend and dad, not the crowd. Despite hearing Littler's perspective, Van Veen's opinion on the matter remains unchanged, although he insists there are no hard feelings between them. Van Veen is looking forward to the next Premier League Darts night in Rotterdam, where he will face Luke Humphries, and is excited to experience the electric atmosphere of the Ahoy Rotterdam as a player, having previously attended the venue as a fan. The night promises to be crucial in the race for the Play-Offs, with other key matches including Michael van Gerwen vs Jonny Clayton and Luke Littler vs Gerwyn Price.
