results are not good enough, but he remains optimistic
they will improve.
Massimiliano Allegri has admitted Juventus are in crisis when it
comes to results, but he is pleased with their performances and
is confident they can turn things around.
The reigning Serie A champions have won just one from their
opening five league fixtures and are trailing leaders Inter by 10
points in the table.
"We are in crisis in terms of results, but not in terms of
performances," Allegri stated at a news conference.
"It's the performances that will lead us to gain these results. It's
a very important week. We have three games - against Napoli,
Sevilla and Bologna - and we need to be calm.
"Actions speak louder than words in difficult times. We need to
get our heads down and work our way out of it with results.
"Criticism is part and parcel of my job, but I'm calm and know
what this team is capable of achieving."
Juventus have been plagued by injuries in recent weeks, but a
number of players are set to return.
"After the international break, when I have a full group to choose
from, we'll have a lot more experience on the field," Allegri
added.
"Alvaro Morata is available for the game against Napoli. Martin
Caceres will be back for Wednesday, Sami Khedira resumes full
training from Sunday and Claudio Marchisio will be back after
the break."
