Ex-Juventus midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi warns that ‘the league isn’t over until its mathematical conclusion’.
The Bianconeri opened up a six-point gap over Scudetto rivals Napoli at the weekend, following the Partenopei’s collapse at Udinese.
“The league is never over until its mathematical conclusion,” Tacchinardi told Radio 1 Rai.
“You have to be used to playing at a high level for the entire season, regardless of whether you play before or after your rival.

The Bianconeri opened up a six-point gap over Scudetto rivals Napoli at the weekend, following the Partenopei’s collapse at Udinese.
“The league is never over until its mathematical conclusion,” Tacchinardi told Radio 1 Rai.
“You have to be used to playing at a high level for the entire season, regardless of whether you play before or after your rival.
“Juve know that it’s not over, now we’ll see how many rounds Higuain will miss. Without him, Napoli struggle to score goals.
“Juve have a complete squad, Conte didn’t have a team like this, of a very high level for the Italian league. In the Juve dressing room a draw is taken like a defeat.
“Despite being an ex-Juventus player, I’d say that the Napoli fans are right about many things. For example, on what Bonucci did 15 days ago, Sarri is right: what he did can’t be allowed and he should’ve been sent off.”
Tacchinardi also spoke about Cesare Maldini, who he played under for Italy’s victorious Under-21 team at the 1996 European Championships, after the Milan legend passed away on Saturday evening.
“It was a fantastic team, with Cannavaro, Nesta, Totti and it was guided by a father, not a Coach,” said Tacchinardi.
“He was a very compassionate person, calm but also ambitious.”
