Juventus coach Massimiliano
Allegri dismissed talk that his side have already got this
season's Serie A title in the bag.
The Turin giants, who are aiming for an eighth consecutive
scudetto, have 40 points from 14 games, having dropped just two
points so far.
They are eight points ahead of second-placed Napoli and 11
ahead of third-placed Inter, who they face on Friday at home.
"I read (in the papers) that Juventus have killed of the
title race," Allegri told a press conference.
"That's not true. You win the title in May. You need between
86 and 90 points to win the scudetto, so nothing is decided
before 30 matches and we have only played 14 so far.
"We still have to play two head-to-heads with Inter and one
with Napoli and that's just for starters.
"It will be a battle".
Inter coach Luciano Spalletti, however, admitted that Juve
would take some catching.
"There's a big distance in the standings, making it difficult
to catch them up," Spalletti said.
"The good news it that closing the gap depends on us".
