Arne Slot has confirmed he sought advice from assistant John Heitinga for insights ahead of his first Merseyside derby as Liverpool head coach.
However, the Dutchman does not expect to learn any secrets from his former Everton player. And part of David Moyes’ backroom staff. Heitinga
will return to Goodison Park for the first time as part of Liverpool’s backroom staff. Having made 140 appearances across four-and-a-half seasons with the Toffees.
While the Dutchman is well placed to offer insights into his former boss, Slot says he has seen enough from Everton since Moyes’s return to Goodison Park last month to realise the impact he has had on the Toffees.
“I asked him, of course, ‘What experience have you had of the Merseyside derby over there?'” Slott said of his conversation with Heitinga.
“And I think both teams have the same experience, เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย as do all the players around the world. The same as I experienced in the derbies I’ve played in.
“Those games are massive for everyone involved at both clubs and, yes, he’s worked with David Moyes. Before so yeah, he knows how he wants to play. “
But I’ve just watched the last three or four games, I’ve seen the structure of the game that he had at West Ham, the one he had before at United, the one he had before at Everton. “
So he’s got a clear idea of how he wants the team to play and that’s really good for a manager. If you just look at his teams, it doesn’t matter what shirt they’re wearing, you can say, ‘This is David Moyes’ or ‘This is Pep Guardiola’s’. “
And that’s what he always brings and that’s a massive success because not every manager can do that. You know what you’re going to get when you bring David Moyes in and that’s a big part of it.”
