After the win against Udinese, Juventus have one point more than Napoli and the objective is then to take three more with the Atalanta game coming up. 4 points would be a good advantage but wouldn't secure the title to the Bianconeri, as Allegri has said in his press conference: "For tomorrow's game, Cuadrado and Bernardeschi won't be available, and we'll have to evaluate Alex Sandro's condition. Buffon should come back, we'll see for the others. We've been leaders for a few days and need to be strong to keep that position. Napoli still has a high percentage of chance to win the Scudetto as there still is the direct clash to play and we have many important games. In the meantime we have to think about the match versus Atalanta, which is a very tough team. Matuidi? He's been on the bench during last game also because he's recovered faster than expected. Pjanic should definitely come back tomorrow".
"The games against Atalanta are always difficult because they can count on great physical and technical players. We respect them a lot but need the win. Different Juve? A bit in the characteristics, especially thanks to Matuidi's arrival. The team's strength is that every player wants to win, they want to show everybody they still are the strongest. We haven't won anything yet, but there's a final to play and at the moment we're first in the league. I take this moment to compliment Napoli on how they have kept the league open. Sarri must be proud of what he's done at the club in these years".
Despite the possibility of being able to get the crucial advance, Allegri wants his Juve to remain low-profile: "We need to take one step at the time. Even if we win tomorrow, it won't be over. Napoli is able to win all the games, we'd need 100 points to win the league. I have to choose who will start between Higuain and Mandzukic, Dybala will play. Cuadrado? He's had a medical on Saturday, he continued his therapy and started to run yesterday but isn't available yet. We don't know precisely when he will come back. The player that shoots the penalties? Dybala is. During the games I decide if someone else should take them. Higuain's assists? He's an extraordinary player, not only on the scoring side; he's one of the best. Cristante? I knew he'd make at the high level. He lost himself a bit because coaches put him in wrong roles. Mandzukic penalized by our new system? Mario is an important player for us, but we've got so many games that it's good to let someone get some rest from time to time. My experience in bianconero? In these years I've had a lot of fun, all the players that have changed have given me a lot of satisfactions".
