Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri warns that ‘the season is still long’ and insists they are thinking ‘one match at a time’.
The Bianconeri are on an extraordinary 12-match winning run in Serie A, but are still two points behind league leaders Napoli.
They face Genoa at the Juventus Stadium on Wednesday evening, and Allegri considered a quiet January transfer window in Italy.
“It’s difficult to say who has reinforced in the market,” he said at today’s Press conference.
Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri warns that ‘the season is still long’ and insists they are thinking ‘one match at a time’.
The Bianconeri are on an extraordinary 12-match winning run in Serie A, but are still two points behind league leaders Napoli.
They face Genoa at the Juventus Stadium on Wednesday evening, and Allegri considered a quiet January transfer window in Italy.
“It’s difficult to say who has reinforced in the market,” he said at today’s Press conference.
“Let’s say that the January market can fill some gaps for teams, but fortunately Juventus have a good squad and we’ve recovered almost all our players.
“We’re thinking about ourselves and what we need to do from now until the end.
“Like I’ve said and always say, you need to win a certain number of games and think one match at a time, and tomorrow is an important game where we must bring home three points.
“Regarding this season, we’ve got five fewer points than this time last year, we would be only three points ahead of Napoli, so I repeat that Napoli are doing extraordinary things.
“The season is still long, there are 16 matches left and we’ll need many wins to reach the quota for the Scudetto.
“Napoli have won six in a row, now there are two or three matches left before we face each other and we have to think about winning.
“In the meantime we’re thinking about tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow about Frosinone.
“Roma already had a great squad and signed two important players, one of whom was decisive on Saturday, El Shaarawy.
“Perotti is another big player, and I’d say that up until a few rounds from the end all of the top five teams will be fighting for the title.
“The team moved well in the market, especially by signing youngsters for the future. They all have quality, it’s not nice to give names especially because I haven’t coached them and so when I have them here I’ll evaluate them.”
Allegri also commented on the upcoming Champions League last 16 tie against Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich, with the first leg set for 23 February.
“Bayern Munich have an extraordinary squad and it’ll be a fantastic quarter-final,” he said.
“I repeat, we must work to get to play the big European matches at the same level.
“There’s always room for improvement and we have it in terms of defensive organisation, but especially from the perspective of the speed of our passages of play, of playing football in a certain way.”
