Massimiliano Allegi is not panicking at the champions'
form just yet.
Massimiliano Allegri is adamant that Juventus can retain the
Serie A title despite seeing their worst league start continue with
a 2-1 loss at Napoli on Saturday.
Juve have dominated domestically in Italy in recent seasons and
are searching for a fifth straight title, but they have won just one
of their opening six games.
Goals from Lorenzo Insigne and the impressive Gonzalo Higuain
was enough for Napoli to condemn Juve to their third defeat of
the campaign at Stadio San Paolo.
However, under-fire coach Allegri insists that his side will be
competing in the upper echelons of the table soon enough,
stating that injuries to key players have left Juve void of
experience.
"It's a difficult time but the championship is long, now we must
play the game like champions," Allegri told Sky Italia.
"Juve will come back to fight for the top spot, although it will be
tough. We have to get out of the difficulty, perhaps the return of
the injured players will help me to play some players of
experience.
"With the recovery of injured players I will have more choices.
[Against Napoli] I had just Hernanes and [Mario] Lemina in
central areas.
"The team has not had a bad game, Napoli are organised and
have great quality and managed to hurt us.
"They did very well on the counter-attack."
