Juventus coach Max Allegri was delighted with the manner of their 1-0 win over Napoli.

The result was decided at the 88th minute by a sudden Simone Zaza snapshot.

“It was a very tactical match," the Bianconeri boss told Sky Sport Italia.

“We have this objective in our sights. It'll be very difficult, as there are 13 games to go and Napoli again proved themselves to be a very good side both individually and as a unit.

“It was a balanced encounter and only a moment could change it. I compliment the lads for their performance and their patience.

“We needed this attitude and tempo, because the likes of Higuain, Callejon, Insigne, Allan and Hamsik can cause huge problems if they run into space. The lads did really well to block off the spaces between the lines.

“Apart from that chance in the first half stopped by Leonardo Bonucci's intervention, we allowed Napoli very little.

“We had to go back to playing four at the back tonight and it's a good sign, as it means we can play with this system and have guarantees.

“It was a sort of lopsided 4-4-2, as we don't have a winger on the left and used Paul Pogba there."
