COACH Baba Ganaru has urged the League Management Company to adjust the domestic football calendar for the interest of the clubs that would fly the country's flag in the continent.
This coming in the wake of Enyimba's lone goal defeat to Vipers FC in the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League last week.The Sai Masu Gida boss told NaijaSportsXtra that: "Like I have said before Enyimba, Warri Wolves, Nasarawa Utd and Akwa United played their various opponents in the continent, they were not match ready as the Super 4 in Kaduna and Uyo was not the best test for them.
"So it was shocking or rather not shocking to me that Enyimba lost to the Ugandan team.
"I want to plead with the league regulatory body to take a critical look at our football calendar and possibly adjust it, so that it conforms with is obtainable in the world."
Meanwhile Omo Johnson has tipped Enyimba to qualify to the next round of the Champions League despite losing 1-0 to Vipers in Kampala last week.
"They lost, didn't mean the Peoples Elephants are not a good side.
"I feel the coaches should go back to the drawing board, look at the weak areas they spotted in the defeat to Vipers and then fashion out a game plan for the 2nd leg tie."
The seven times Nigeria Premier League champions will welcome the Ugandans to Port-Harcourt this weekend for a make-or-bust game.
