Former Everton defender John Heitinga took a swipe at his old club while assisting Liverpool in their preparations for their upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest. The ex-Everton star, who now works as a coach for Liverpool, made a not-so-subtle remark that raised eyebrows among football fans.
Heitinga, who spent four seasons at Everton from 2009 to 2014, seemed to be throwing shade at his former team as he helped train Liverpool’s players ahead of their crucial match. The Dutchman’s comments may have added some fuel to the fire of the Merseyside rivalry, which has always been heated between Liverpool and Everton.
It remains to be seen how Everton fans will react to Heitinga’s remarks, but one thing is for sure: his loyalty now lies with Liverpool, and he will do whatever it takes to help his current team come out on top against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The upcoming match is sure to be an exciting one, with both Liverpool and Everton looking to secure three points to boost their standings in the Premier League.
