Gonzalo Higuain says Juventus have ‘rediscovered the right hunger’ following an indifferent start to the season.
The Old Lady attracted criticism in the early part of the campaign for several lacklustre performances in Serie A, while they have also made hard work of qualifying from Champions League Group D.
However, Friday night’s 1-0 win at Scudetto rivals Napoli took the defending champions just one point behind the League leaders, giving Higuain renewed belief that Juve are back on track.

“Winning a seventh straight Scudetto would be something incredible,” the Argentine forward told Tuttosport.
“We have rediscovered the right hunger, we are sorry we didn’t have it in the first part of the season.
“There are some regrets for that, but it’s natural to have some drops in intensity.”
Juve travel to face Greek side Olympiacos in their final Champions League group match knowing they must win if they are to guarantee progression to the knockout phase.
“The win against Napoli gives us another boost ahead of the Champions League match.
“It is a match in which we cannot make mistakes.”
