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

Dutch darts player Gian van Veen has stated that he does not need to have a conversation with Luke Littler to resolve their on-stage spat from Night Nine of the Premier League in Manchester. The incident occurred after Van Veen won a contentious match, which led to Littler reacting angrily. Van Veen believes Littler was out of order for celebrating towards the crowd, causing him to stare at Littler. However, Littler has since shared his perspective, stating that his celebrations were directed at his girlfriend and dad, and that Van Veen was a 'cry baby' for putting his darts down before the match was over. Despite hearing Littler's side of the story, Van Veen's opinion on the incident remains unchanged, but he insists there are no hard feelings between them. Van Veen is looking forward to the next match against Littler, who he expects to be highly motivated. The Dutch player enjoys the competitive atmosphere in darts but prefers not to be directly involved in conflicts. The incident has sparked discussion among darts commentators and players, with some believing it has been blown out of proportion. Michael van Gerwen, a fellow Dutch player, thinks the spat is being overanalyzed and that such incidents are common in the sport. Littler is expecting a frosty reception from the Dutch crowd in Rotterdam but is focused on his game and hopes to improve his performance. Van Veen, on the other hand, is excited to play in front of his home crowd and is looking forward to a memorable experience.
