“I hope I have enough time to work on a few things, mainly basic things.
“These basics if not well addressed can cause problems, but I will try my best to work on them in our time left before the competition starts,” he said.
The local champions side will be heading for Tahiti tomorrow to compete in the Group B matches of the league.
Marist is grouped in group D who will kick off matches on February 24 at the Lawson Tama Stadium.
