Roma coach Paulo Fonseca is ready for Europa League opponents - and former employers - Shakhtar Donetsk.
Fonseca also confirms Edin Dzeko and Roger Ibanez are available against Shakhtar.
He said, "They've changed their system, but they have the same players. I used to play with a 4-2-3-1 formation. They use a 4-1-4-1 now.
"We have our strategy to face Shakhtar, not my ex-team. I know the team well and the players know my ideas.
"We prepared a strategy based on what Shakhtar do now, not what they used to do when I was there."
"Dzeko trained with the team today and will be called up and the same is true of Ibanez," he continued.
"I think our defensive performances have improved lately, it's not only up to the defence, but we must give credit to the whole team for this.
"We know it's important not to concede goals and we improved an essential aspect of the game.
"The team's organization has always been good. We have improved on the mistakes that allow the other team to go out fast to attack.
"I think we are playing safely now. We're not losing the ball so much right now."
