“This is the last game of 2015, which has been full of satisfactions, but they are in the past now. We want to end on a high and every Serie A match is difficult.
“We’re coming off a run of positive results, but let’s not forget we dropped a lot of points against sides like Udinese, Chievo, Sassuolo and Frosinone. We have to win and our only objective must be a victory.
“When you climb as rapidly as we have, the climb is easier than to go from fourth to third, to second or first. Tomorrow has to consolidate our status, then we’ll go on vacation and start again fighting with the top spots, otherwise everything we’ve done over the last two months will have been in vain.
“Morata did well against Torino and played at a very high technical level, which bodes well for the future. We’re only missing Mario Lemina and Roberto Pereyra.
“I have the line-up in mind already, but the most important issue will be the psychological approach. We absolutely cannot take the wrong approach to this game.
“The last game before Christmas always has some hidden dangers. As my team is made up of very responsible people, I am sure we won’t take the wrong approach.
“When Juventus return to the places they usually hold, it’s only natural the other clubs will start to worry.
“There are no secrets, it’s just down to hard work. It’s true the lads have had a great comeback, but it is also true that if we don’t win tomorrow, then the leading pack can break away again.”
Allegri was asked about the crisis at Roma, but insists it is not a disaster.
“The season isn’t over yet and Inter haven’t won the Scudetto. They do have a strong squad, a Coach who has won titles before and are the only side up there not competing in Europe, which is a slight advantage.
“After two years of not even being in the Europa League, they’ve been able to work on the team. They also have very physical, solid players who can get results.
“Roma are absolutely not ruled out, as it’s quick in football to go from the gutter to the stars. They are in the Champions League Round of 16 and have every chance of getting back into the race.
“Considering the way this season is going, I think it’ll be decided on the final day or at the most the penultimate round.”
How did Allegri experience his 2015 and did he fear this campaign would end early for the Coach?
“I believe in what I am doing. Football gives you the opportunity to test that conviction every three days. Our objective was to improve and above all create a squad that until recently wasn’t fully homogenous. The side is now in good shape physically too.
“Daniele Rugani did well against Torino, I don’t know if he’ll play tomorrow, but he proved himself to be very reliable. He has players in front of him like Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and Martin Caceres.”
Did Allegri expect Jose Mourinho to be sacked by Chelsea?
“Unfortunately in a career these things happen. Mourinho has won so much and got results everywhere. He might need two or three months to rest and recuperate.”
