Today, we take a lesson from Ghana and try to transplant it to Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>Then, all Ugandan football coaches are complaining about the fixture congestion that has demanded that teams play a game every 48 to 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The solution lies in nutrition, recovery programs, and rest. It must be time for teams to learn from science.<\/p>\n<p>Take an example of KCCA. Over the past fortnight or so, the 13-time StarTimes Uganda Premier League champions traveled nearly five hours to Mbarara.<\/p>\n<p>A day later, they drew goalless with hosts Mbarara City in a game where KCCA were second-best for long periods.<\/p>\n<p>They returned to Kampala. Then, Morley Byekwaso\u2019s team embarked on an eight-hour road journey to Arua to face Onduparaka in a league game.<\/p>\n<p>At kick-off at the Ababet Greenlight Stadium, KCCA had accumulated 18 hours on the road over a six-day period.<\/p>\n<p>The previous week, they were in Mbarara for a Stanbic Uganda Cup game against Nyamityobora. Surely change must come now.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, we try to explain the second half renaissance of Man City against PSG plus Chelsea\u2019s draw in Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>In the lesser competition, surely Man United are home and dry while Villarreal versus Arsenal remains dicey. Have you found the winners yet?<\/p>\n<p>In the boardroom, there\u2019s Hassan Salihamidzic versus Hans Deiter-Flick at Bayern Munich. What could go wrong in paradise?<\/p>\n<p>Also, get into the fast lane and understand the troubles at Ugandan basketball club Namuwongo Blazers, KCCA Leopards, and Betway Power.<\/p>\n<p>This is indeed the fast lane to full-time.<\/p>\n<p><b>ENJOY LISTENING!!<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
