Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has praised the resilience of his side after they came from behind to win 3-2 against Fiorentina at the Juventus Stadium on Wednesday evening in Serie A.
The Old Lady went into the match having lost two of their last three league games, as many as they had in their previous 59 Serie A fixtures, but will secure a fourth consecutive Scudetto on May 2 should they avoid defeat away at Sampdoria.
“It was an important victory,” said Allegri to Sky Sport Italia after the match.
“At this point it would take the opposite of a miracle for us to lose this Scudetto.
“We have a 14-point lead, we need one more and hope to get it on Saturday so that we can best prepare for the Champions League.
“The last two games have been difficult to prepare for, psychologically there may have been dips in concentration.
“There are also many players who haven’t been available this season for long periods, so the others had to carry on throughout and not get as much rest as I’d have liked.
“I thought it would be a good season, as these players are great both on the field and off.
“I found players like Simone Padoin, Stefano Sturaro, Kingsley Coman and Simone Pepe who have proved decisive when coming off the bench.
“During the course of a campaign, these are the players who become crucial.”
