The Old Lady head coach hails his team’s convincing win over Walter Mazzarri’s men but tags his team as underdogs for the Scudetto race.
As the battle for Scudetto draws closer, Juventus manager, Antonio Conte, has started to play mind games by suggesting that “only Milan can lose the Scudetto now.”
The Turin giants closed the gap on league leaders, AC Milan, to just two points after they annihilated Napoli 3-0 on Sunday, April 1. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Quagliarella-c13194 scored a goal each to propel the Old Lady
to their 16th win of the season.
The Rossoneri were held to a 1-1 draw in their respective week 30 game by Catania.
Juve have been in impressive run of form, overcoming two stern tests in their previous matches. The Turin giants defeated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, Antonio Conte is extremely delighted with his team’s
efforts.
The Old Lady boss believes that the win over Walter Mazzarri’s side will give them a lot of confidence in the crunch time of the season, and is hopeful of continuing the same run of form in the future too.
While talking to the reporters, Conte said:
“In the last two weeks we clearly beat Inter and Napoli, two teams who most assumed would be ahead of us at this stage of the season. The victory over Napoli must be a source of pride, because they are an excellent side who did
very well in the Champions League and are growing under Walter Mazzarri.
“I am proud of what my lads achieved tonight. We are also maturing in psychological terms and this result is crucial to put second place under lock and key, which is already beyond our expectations for the season.”
However, the former Siena boss insists that the Scudetto is AC Milan’s to lose, and the Rossoneri are in a comfortable position to defend their crown. The Rossoneri are also in the quarter-finals of Uefa Champions, and are locked
with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 in the European big stage.
The Turin giants will travel to Palermo for their next league game on Saturday, April 7. The game will be played at Stadio Renzo Barbera.
