Massimiliano Allegri has stressed thatJuventus cannot afford to focus solely onGonzalo Higuain when they take on Napolion Saturday.
The Argentina international has already netted 24 goals in as many Serie A appearances this term, firing Napoli to the top of the table.
With second-placed Juventus preparing to host the league leaders on Saturday, Allegri is expecting a tough battle.
"Napoli are not all about Higuain," the Juventus coach said at a news conference. "Higuain's having the best season of his career, but it's not just him we'll have to look out for.
"They have the league's second-best defence and have scored more goals than any other team.
"Napoli are in great form and playing well. It will be a great game from a tactical and technical point of view. We'll need to be controlled in our approach and put in a great performance.
"Saturday's game won't decide this year's Scudetto. After tomorrow night there will still be 39 points up for grabs. We lost the first game against Napoli 2-1 due to two errors, but we had our chances to earn a draw.
"We need to get used to dealing with these kinds of games. We have a fair few of them coming up from tomorrow onwards.
Winning a fifth consecutive title would see this Juventus side go down in history."
