Max Allegri stresses the importance of Juventus staying free of 'stress and anxiety' in the season's finale.
The Bianconeri play the first of two remaining Serie A games this Saturday against Napoli. While the Scudetto is already theirs, their boss has refused to see the games as meaningless.
“As in everything else, you've got to strike the right balance between training and giving playing time to those who need it,” said Allegri in today's Press conference.

“As in everything else, you've got to strike the right balance between training and giving playing time to those who need it,” said Allegri in today's Press conference.
“Our game against Napoli tomorrow doesn't mean anything in terms of the Scudetto, but it counts towards the streak of undefeated games at home.
“And it's important because we must play a good game from the technical point of view.
“We still have to improve on that, as well as on intensity and character. We need to pull off some excellent performances that will let us achieve our results.
“These two championship games are useful, along with the training sessions, to keep up the physical and mental condition.
“We can't think about resting until June 6, otherwise we should unplug everything and stay in bed until that date, because we'd be worried about getting hurt.
“In life you've got to have some fatalism. We must keep working with a cool mind and prepare these two remaining games in the best possible way.
“After Saturday we can rest for three days, especially because this team hasn't been given half a day off since the end of February, especially when we had the international break.
“Much like there's a need to work, there's also a need to rest. Besides, we also need to prepare ourselves for this [Champions League] Final.
“But we must do so with serenity, with no excessive stress. We can't go to Berlin riddled with anxieties or we won't even be able to run.
“Slowly, one step at a time, one day at a time, we'll prepare ourselves for the games we've got left.”
