Gian van Veen has stated that he doesn't need to talk to Luke Littler to put their recent on-stage dispute behind them. The incident occurred during a dramatic match at the Premier League in Manchester, where Van Veen emerged victorious. Littler had reacted angrily after Van Veen turned towards him while throwing darts, leading to a heated exchange.
Van Veen believes Littler was 'out of order' for celebrating in his direction, which caused him to stare back. However, Littler has since explained that his celebrations were intended for his girlfriend and father in the crowd. Despite hearing Littler's side of the story, Van Veen's opinion on the incident remains unchanged. He insists there are no hard feelings between them, but also doesn't feel the need to discuss the matter further.
Van Veen is focused on the upcoming Premier League Darts event in Rotterdam, where he will face Luke Humphries. The Dutch player is excited to perform in front of his home crowd and is looking forward to a positive experience. Meanwhile, Littler is preparing for a potentially hostile reception from the Dutch fans, but remains confident in his abilities and is determined to move forward from the incident. The Premier League Darts event in Rotterdam promises to be an exciting night of action, with several crucial matches taking place, including Littler's encounter with Gerwyn Price and Van Gerwen's match against Jonny Clayton.
