Mamelodi Sundowns will score three goals against Zamalek‚ their mercurial forward Anthony Laffor has proclaimed saying he wants to win the Caf Champions League for his native Liberia. Hailing from tiny Liberia – land of repatriated slaves‚ crippling civil wars‚ Nobel peace prize-winning president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf‚ and former World footballer of the year George Weah – chances at international trophies have been few for Laffor.Now that he has a shot at one in the Champions League final‚ the first leg of which will be played at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgville on Saturday (3pm)‚ Laffor intends to take it.“This is the biggest game in all of our [the Sundowns players’] careers‚” Laffor said.“I think I am the first Liberian to play in a Champions League final. I want to show something to my children that when I was playing‚ I won the Nedbank Cup‚ the Telkom Knockout‚ the league medal.“But if I can show them this – this one is the biggest one in Africa‚ so I’m going for it.” Laffor was influential for Downs in their grueling schedule they faced last month‚ both in his usual super-sub role and as a starter.He came off the bench to set up Khama Billiat’s crucial goal in the away leg of Downs’ semifinal victory against Zesco United on September 17.He was a scoring substitute in the MTN8 semifinal second leg against Chippa United four days later. Laffor got a rare start and scored in the fifth minute of the home leg against Zesco.He started again in the MTN8 final against Bidvest Wits (where Downs lost 3-0)‚ but his contribution was less noticeable and Laffor had to be substituted at half time – something Brazilians coach Pitso Mosimane had complained was too often a feature of the player’s game from the starting XI.Sundowns’ super-sub Anthony Laffor is a ‘difficult person’, says Pitso Mosimane“I end up substituting him after 45 minutes and then I’ve lost a sub. So he [Laffor ] comes up at the right time," says Mosimane. This has prompted debate on whether Laffor should start in the final – where‚ in the absence of injured Leonardo Castro‚ he might fill the centre-forward role better than Khama Billiat – or be held back for the bench.“Against Zesco I started and scored. Against Chippa I came on as a sub and scored.” Laffor said.“So I think the debate is for you guys [the media]. The coaches need to make their decisions and anything they do‚ I’m here to work for the team and willing to listen to what they want from me. ”Sundowns have been handed the difficult task of playing the first leg at home‚ where they might need a few goals‚ far preferably without conceding‚ to stand a chance in the return leg in Egypt.“I wouldn’t say it’s an advantage or disadvantage. We just need to win our game on Saturday – that’s all‚” Laffor said.“We don’t want to go to Egypt crying over‚ ‘We didn’t do this or didn’t do that’.“And I think we’re going to do that. We’ve shown we’re capable of scoring goals in all our home games in the Champions League this year.”Sundowns storm into CAF Champions League final with 3-2 aggregate win over Zesco Joker Anthony Laffor and the diminutive Percy Tau both scored to put Mamelodi Sundowns through to African Champions League final on a night of much celebration for South African football. Downs have had an excellent home scoring record in the tournament. They have scored in every game at Lucas Moripe – against Chicken Inn (two)‚ AC Leopards (two)‚ AS Vita (two)‚ Enyimba (two)‚ Zamalek (one).“And on Saturday we’re going to score three‚” Laffor professed‚ confident Downs can improve on their two-goal record against every side they have faced except one.The second leg will be played at Borg El Arab Stadium just outside Alexandria on Sunday‚ October 23. - TMG Digital..
