Dutch darts player Gian van Veen has stated that he doesn't feel the need to have a conversation with Luke Littler to resolve their recent on-stage spat. 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 while throwing match darts in the deciding leg.
Van Veen believes Littler was 'out of order' for celebrating towards the crowd, which prompted him to stare at Littler. However, Littler has since shared his perspective on the incident, claiming that his celebrations were directed towards his girlfriend and father. Despite hearing Littler's side of the story, Van Veen's opinion on the matter remains unchanged. He insists that there are no hard feelings between them and is looking forward to their potential semi-final match in Rotterdam.
The Dutch player enjoys the competitive spirit in darts but prefers not to be directly involved in conflicts. Van Veen is focused on the upcoming Premier League Darts event in Rotterdam, where he will face Luke Humphries. He is excited to experience the electric atmosphere at the Ahoy Rotterdam, a venue that holds special memories for him as a fan. The event will feature other crucial matches, including Michael van Gerwen vs.
Jonny Clayton and Luke Littler vs. Gerwyn Price. With ranking points at stake, the competition is expected to be fierce as players vie for a spot in the top four and a chance to compete in the Finals Night at The O2 in London.
