Hectic schedule 'caught up' with Roar against Ulsan - Aloisi

Brisbane's coach argued the powers-that-be could do more to help A-League clubs compete on the continent after watching his side ship six goals

John Aloisi has reiterated his demand that Football Federation Australia (FFA) be more flexible with A-League scheduling following Brisbane Roar's 6-0 loss to Ulsan in the AFC Champions League (ACL).

Brisbane's coach argued his side's schedule "caught up" with them in South Korea on Tuesday night as Mislav Orsic and Kim In-sung both scored braces for Ulsan in a thumping win in Group E.

The game against Ulsan was Roar's ninth in 32 days in all competitions, with Aloisi's team having travelled to Shanghai, Melbourne, Perth and Ulsan during that period, and the A-League club were without four defenders due to injury for the ACL fixture.
