Allegri: Juve still in control
3 May 2012 16:58
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri says Juventus are still in control in the Serie A title race despite their slip-up against Lecce on Wednesday.
The league leaders had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home, while Milan beat Atalanta 2-0 in their clash at San Siro.
Nevertheless, Juventus still hold a one-point lead over Milan with two more games to go and Allegri knows the title is still Juve's to lose.
"Juventus still have everything in their own hands. We just have to do our best to keep the race open and hope for another slip-up but that's tough to see," Allegri said at a press conference.
"We'll see now what happens on Sunday. This is why football is beautiful; anything can happen in a game.
"This is the proof that the most impossible things to achieve are always the most beautiful and you always have to believe."
Milan resume league action on Sunday when they take on rivals Inter Milan, and Allegri said he was relishing the prospect of that test.
"Sunday will be a wonderful evening anyway and we are really fired up for the derby. This fixture gets the players going anyway and perhaps we could not have asked for a better game, as we are highly motivated, certainly more than we were tonight," he said.
"If we do well and Juve slip up again, then we can overtake them. The Scudetto is still in Juve's hands, but we believe and we always believed."
