The Old Lady playmaker rejects talks of Scudetto race being over and looking forward to the game against Lazio; the Italian predicts a tough game on Wednesday.
Andrea Pirlo has rejected talks of AC Milan being in crisis, and insists that the Scudetto is Juventus’ to lose from this stage.
The Bianconeri will host Lazio in matchday 32 game of the season on Wednesday, 11 April, and a victory over Edy Reja’s side will put them one-point clear at the top of the league standings.
Pirlo believes that sitting at the summit of the points table gives a great feeling, and believes that he knew that his team had the potential of moving top of the table. However, the Italian international believes that his team has 50 percent chance of lifting the title.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan midfielder insisted that he did not expect AC Milan to lose to Fiorentina, and the result of the game spurred the Old Lady to seal a convincing win away to Palermo.
While talking to the reporters, Pirlo said:
“Being back on top of everyone else is great fun. We hadn’t been the leaders for a while, but were always aware we could do well. Now we are up there, we must continue to think big and take it one game at a time.”
“Our chances are 50-50, as it takes the slightest slip-up and it all changes. We must focus on beating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775, who are only the first hurdle. In all honesty, we did not expect Milan to lose against Fiorentina, especially as they had gone in front and we didn’t think the result would be turned around like that.”
Despite sitting in a strong position to win the Scudetto, Pirlo has demanded focus from his team, and believes that they cannot afford any further slip ups.
The Old Lady midfielder is anticipating a difficult game against the Biancazzurri, and believes that it is not the only hurdle before the end of the season. Juve have only seven matches left to play in the season, including game against AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 later this month.
The Turin giants are currently placed 2nd in the league table, with 65 points from 31 games.
