“Don’t kid yourselves that Verona will play the same way. They’ll be much more careful and won’t allow us many chances,” said Allegri.

“We cannot think this is going to be an easy game, especially considering how important it is in the overall big picture.

“In the second half of the season we must make as few mistakes as possible, because there’s less and less time to make up lost ground.

“We are three points in front of Roma, but it’s not enough. From now to the end, if we’re going to win the Scudetto, then we need a lot of victories. We also have to hope Roma drop points at Palermo, but whatever happens I remain convinced the title will be decided in the final rounds.”

Arturo Vidal missed that Coppa game due to tonsillitis and his temperature shot up to such a degree that he was hospitalised.

“Today he’s coming out of hospital, is feeling much better and perhaps could even train. It’s unlikely he’ll be available tomorrow, but he wants to make himself available, even if he’s on antibiotics.”

Allegri also commented on Inter defender Juan Jesus, who called Giorgio Chiellini “unsporting” for requesting a ban when he was elbowed in the face.

“Chiellini is not an unsporting player,” slammed Allegri. “In that game Juan Jesus was actually very fortunate the referee didn’t spot his elbow, otherwise it would’ve been a red card and a penalty.

“Really, he’d have done better to keep quiet.”
