NPFL legend and player’s adviser in the league, Victor Ezeji has submitted that Nigerian clubside do not go all the way on the continent due to one major reason which he says is lack of adequate preparation.
Lobi Stars and Enugu Rangers were amongst the clubs to represent the country on the continent, but both teams were dumped out of the group stages of both the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederations cup
In a chat with Sports247, Ezeji further added that Nigeria should also learn from the North Africans as they are always doing well in continental engagements.
It has to do with preparation…any competition you prepare well, you do well
Our clubs fail to prepare well, training even travelling arrangements
most times they travel in batches and they get exhausted when they get dere but you see the North Africans they all fly in into your base
It’s not like we don’t have the players,it’s the adminstrative part we have to take care of , if these are properly managed,we won’t be hearing all these issues on daily basis.
