Gian van Veen has stated that he doesn't need to talk to Luke Littler to resolve their disagreement after their argument at the Premier League in Manchester. Van Veen had won a contentious match, and Littler reacted angrily when Van Veen turned towards him while throwing darts.
Van Veen felt that Littler was out of line for celebrating towards the crowd, which led to their confrontation. Littler has since shared his perspective, stating that his celebrations were directed at his girlfriend and dad, and that Van Veen overreacted by staring at him. Despite hearing Littler's side, Van Veen's opinion on the incident remains unchanged, although he insists there are no hard feelings between them. The Dutch player enjoys the competitive atmosphere in darts but prefers not to be directly involved in conflicts.
Van Veen is looking forward to the next Premier League Darts event in Rotterdam, where he could potentially face Littler again. Michael van Gerwen believes the incident has been blown out of proportion, comparing it to his own past clashes with Phil Taylor. The incident has been discussed by commentators, with some feeling that Littler's actions were unprofessional, while others see it as a normal part of the sport.
Littler is expecting a hostile reception in Rotterdam but is focused on his game and hopes to improve his performance. Van Veen, meanwhile, is excited to play in front of his home crowd and is looking to make a strong impression.
