ADRIANO HAVING HIGH HOPES FOR ROMA

Adriano believes that Roma has a great chance for success this season. Work continues for Roma's troops at their Riscone di Brunico camp, and Adriano is reaching his targets.

"I am tranquil, the team is there. I am doing everything I can to find my best physical form," he told the press.

"I find myself well with Totti on the pitch, but obviously there is plenty still that we can improve upon because we have only played very little together.

"I think we can play together, but we have to help the team defend if we play a three-man attack. Myself, Totti and [Mirko] Vucinic will be doing well up front, but also at the back.

"Roma represents plenty for me and I have the will to get back to my best. The group is fantastic here and Roma play great football."
