Juventus Coach Max Allegri warns the clash with Napoli “certainly won’t decide the Scudetto, but we’ll be ready for it.”
The Bianconeri notched up a 14th consecutive Serie A victory with their 2-0 away to Frosinone today and remain two points off the leaders.
“It’ll be a fine game, it certainly won’t decide the Scudetto, but we’ll be ready for it. We have important players that Napoli need to worry about too,” Allegri told Mediaset Premium.
“I can only compliment Maurizio Sarri, because he’s having a great campaign. It had been many years since Napoli were top of the table like this.
“The lads did well today, but could’ve done better. When you play certain games you know sooner or later a goal will arrive, so rushing just gives the opposition an advantage.
“We had two great chances at the start, then struggled because Frosinone defended well. We should’ve been sharper and calmer in creating scoring opportunities.
“When you have many young players in the side, there are going to be mistakes. Frosinone only lost badly on home turf to Napoli, so it was not a match to be taken for granted.”
Giorgio Chiellini hobbled off with a calf injury and must be a big doubt to face Napoli on Saturday.
“Unfortunately he has a recurring problem with his calf. We have Andrea Barzagli, Daniele Rugani or even Stephan Lichtsteiner who can play at centre-back.”
