Juventus supervisor Massimiliano Allegri stated his aspect was firmly targeted on ending in Serie A’s prime 4, having constructed up a head of steam forward of Friday’s top-of-the-table conflict in opposition to leaders Napoli.
Juventus has closed the hole to Napoli to seven factors after successful eight league matches on the trot, and the sport on the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium could possibly be vital in deciding its destiny within the title race.
Allegri’s aspect can even be wanting over their shoulders at third-placed AC Milan, which is tied with it on 37 factors, whereas Inter Milan is three factors adrift and Lazio, Atalanta and Roma an extra three behind.
With the race for the highest 4 and Champions League qualification shaping as much as be a decent battle, Allegri was not getting carried away.
“The team is doing quite well. We have done three days of training, we are in good condition,” Allegri advised reporters on Thursday.
“We’ve had good results up to now, but we have to keep thinking about working, progressing along the path of growth and reaching the final goal, which is results.
“At the moment we are thinking of the top four places in the standings.”
Allegri referred to as on his aspect to take care of their depth in opposition to a “well-organised, well-trained team.”
“In Naples the matches are tough, so we must concentrate for the full 90 minutes,” Allegri stated.
“We have to play well technically and with intensity. It’s a difficult game. We’re playing the best team in the league at its home because the standings say so. Tomorrow is not a decisive match, but very important for them.
“Luciano Spalletti is an excellent coach. He is the best at teaching, and he has also proved it in the past. It will be a good challenge.”
