Roma coach Claudio Ranieri is confident of working successfully with new signing Adriano.
Adriano is seeking redemption after a troubled time at former club Inter Milan.
"I am satisfied with Adriano and the captain, who has a great desire and has returned in great form," Ranieri said. "It's practically how we left each other to go on vacation.
"Adri has a notable physique, he needs to work. He is putting in the effort and doing everything to get there. It's a mark of the lad's desire.
"He is not my bet. He is his own bet. I am convinced that he will have a great season."
