Dutch darts player Gian van Veen has stated that he does not need to have a conversation with 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 won a contentious match, prompting a heated reaction from Littler.
Van Veen feels that Littler's behavior was unacceptable and has chosen not to alter his opinion despite hearing Littler's side of the story. Van Veen insists that there are no hard feelings between them and is looking forward to potentially facing Littler again in the semi-finals.
The Dutch player enjoys the competitive atmosphere in darts but prefers not to be directly involved in conflicts. Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen believes that the incident has been blown out of proportion and that such clashes are common in the sport. Van Veen is set to host Luke Humphries on his first Premier League night on home soil in Rotterdam, while Littler will face Gerwyn Price in a crucial battle near the top of the table.
