“Every game from now to the end of the season will be important, the next one up above all,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

“There are so many victories still missing for us to achieve our final objective. The important thing is to be top of the table on May 31.

“Of course, it’s better to be eight clear than five behind… If you draw two games, the ones behind you will start to catch up.

“We must try to give our best performances to get the results. It won’t be so easy tomorrow, as don’t forget that Chievo were very close to beating Fiorentina. They are very dangerous on the counter-attack, so tactical intensity is crucial.

“At the end of the day, we’ll see if we did enough to win. There are many games to go this season and we cannot afford to make calculations.”

Andrea Barzagli has resumed training with the rest of the squad for the first time this season after an Achilles tendon injury.

“He’s a long way off being able to play, but he’ll be on the bench tomorrow. Sebastian Giovinco is a Juventus player until June and that is how I consider him. There are no problems.”

Andrea Pirlo and Gigi Buffon were suffering from flu this week, so the midfielder will need a fitness test.

Allegri met with Italy Coach Conte on Friday, but insisted it was no different to his other encounters with club tacticians around the country.

“I saw nothing strange or significant about it. This was a normal meeting, just as he did with the other teams. It was routine, just as Prandelli used to.

“We exchanged ideas, but didn’t really have time to talk much, as I had to take the training session.”
