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

Dutch darts player Gian van Veen has stated that his opinion on the recent spat with Luke Littler remains unchanged, despite hearing Littler's side of the story. Van Veen won a contentious match against Littler in early April, which sparked a heated reaction from Littler. The incident occurred when Van Veen turned towards Littler while throwing match darts, prompting Littler to miss his own match darts and lose the contest. Van Veen described Littler's behavior as 'out of order' and stated that he was celebrating towards the crowd, which caused him to stare at Littler. However, Littler has since explained that his celebrations were directed towards his girlfriend and father, not the crowd. Van Veen has chosen not to engage in a conversation with Littler to resolve the issue, but insists that there are no hard feelings between them. The Dutch player is looking forward to the next match against Littler, which could potentially happen in the semi-finals of the Premier League Darts in Rotterdam. Van Veen has been at the center of attention in the darts world recently, but he prefers to focus on his game rather than being involved in controversies. Meanwhile, Michael van Gerwen has downplayed the incident, stating that it has been blown out of proportion and that such incidents are common in the sport. Van Gerwen believes that the media often exaggerates these incidents to create a story. The Premier League Darts will continue in Rotterdam, where Van Veen will face Luke Humphries, and Littler will take on Gerwyn Price in a crucial match. The top four players will progress to the Finals Night at The O2 in London on May 28.
