“We still need another six points to be mathematically sure of the Scudetto,” said the Coach in a Press conference this morning.
“We have the derby, which has always been a difficult game against a Torino side who are in line for European qualification. We have no rush to finish the job, but need results.
“I think it would be really very unlikely we’d win the title tomorrow, as we’d need both Roma and Lazio to lose and it’ll be equally difficult for us to beat Torino.”
The focus is on the Champions League semi-final, where the Bianconeri will take on Real Madrid.
Confidence is high, but also dented by criticism of Juve’s 0-0 quarter-final draw in Monaco.
“When you reach an important objective like the Champions League semi-finals, you get messages from everywhere and it’s pleasing.
“I don’t like that the team was criticised, as that night the objective was to qualify. We are at a moment of the season where the side cannot give more than that and the complaints irritated me.
“This is a side that is top of the Serie A table with a big advantage, in the Champions League semi-final and the Coppa Italia Final. What more can you ask?
“I thought the criticism of the lads was excessive, as they are confirming and improving upon the past few years. The result in Montecarlo was much more important than the performance.
“We must play the semi-final against the champions of Europe, a team of Galacticos. It’s a fascinating tie and we are aware of the difficulties, but also know we can reach the Final.
“We have to play to the best of our abilities. If we don’t make it, then we will have been eliminated by an extremely strong opponent.”
Carlos Tevez, Alvaro Morata and Arturo Vidal were all sick ahead of the game in Monaco, while Patrice Evra is out of the Turin Derby with a hip problem.
“Everyone is at my disposal tomorrow except for Evra. After the training session we’ll evaluate the best line-up. On Wednesday we played some lads who were not in good shape. The system also depends on the conditions of the players.
“I don’t think Toro are superior to us, but they are very organised and done some exceptional work this season.
“Don’t forget how well they played against Zenit at home in the Europa League. They are a difficult team to play against, so we need to be very careful and remember how important the match is.
“Do I have a motto for tomorrow? No, but I will concede the Derby della Mole is different to normal games.”
