When the news reached in Liberia that German Bundesliga side Bayern

anything strange as the young Liberian performed excellently in
South Africa where he helped his side Super Sports United clinched
the title.

arrived in Liberia for three weeks vacation and now reports.

the signature of South African Premiership outfit, Super Sports
United hit man Liberian International midfielder, cum striker,
Anthony Snoti Laffor who had a splendid performance in the just
ended South African premiership where his team, Super Sports United

The friend of the net also heap praises on 1995 FIFA world player,
King George Oppong Manneh Weah for his numerous guidance in his
career as a young footballer.
“I call George regularly for guidance.

became successful. "At times after each game I call him and say “how
was my performance and he would give me encouragement,” the young
player noted.
"On the issue of the sacking of former Lone Star German Coach,
Antoine Hey, Snoti, as he's widely called in Liberia said “I was sad
when the news reached me that Coach Hey was sack.
“The problem with the Lone Star failing to qualify to International
competitions is not with coaches or technical staffers, but those at
the helm of the national team as well as football in Liberia and let
it be clear that it was not Coach Hey.
“The Lack of early preparations has been one of the problems Lone
Star has failed to compete at the International level.
“Authorities must begin early preparations if Liberia will compete
at the International level.
“Players must be sent for on time so as to have sufficient training.
“In the last qualifier, we played our best, but we were not just
lucky.
“In South Africa where I play, the world cup will be played there in
2010. People ask me Laffor with such great talent why Liberia did
not make it to the world cup?
“This is very frustrating, but I want every Liberian to know that
there is time for everything,” the skill workshop noted.
Meanwhile, Laffor has given thanks to God Almighty for making him
end a splendid season with Super Sports United where he helped the
team clinched the 2008/2009 South African championship.
“I want to be grateful to God for allowing me showcased my latent in
the South African league.
“It means a lot to me, my family and all Liberians.
“When I left Jomo Cosmo, people said the task at Super Sports would
be difficult for me, but I kept praying and got encouraged by people
who told me Laffor you can make it.
“When I arrived at Super Sports, the coach told me I could not score
10 goals, because the team was big for me, but thank God I proved
him wrong by scoring 13 goals,” he noted.
