With a rather poor off-season showing coupled with the passing away of club President, Alhaji Sly Tetteh, events at Liberty Professionals have looked not too exciting.

However, club coach J.E Sarpong is confident Liberty, who have not been too good in the last two seasons will guarantee itself their premiership status as they still attempt to recover from the demise of their inspirational President.

Sarpong ahead of their opening Glo Premier League home fixture on Sunday against Aduana Stars, says the club will be ready for the big game.

“The team has put what happened behind us and we are ready for the big challenge this season. By God grace, I believe we’ll walk over them,” he said.

Liberty still has plenty of firepower up front, with Michael Helegbe and Sylla Foda Moussa still in the squad.

Sarpong says they have respect for their opponents but stressed the importance of getting off with a win at the Carl Reindorf Park.

“We have massive respect for Aduana especially with what they managed to achieve two seasons ago [winning the title].

“Victory in opening games are always important for team confidence.”
