Juventus coach Antonio Conte denies they're favourites going into the Super Coppa against Lazio.
Conte's Juve face Lazio today in the season curtain raiser.
"I don't think there are any favourites. All I hope is that the team that lifts the trophy truly deserved it and was not considered 'lucky' to get the victory.
"I have great respect for all of Lazio and their Coach, so it would be reductive to choose one player to remove from their team.
"Is it already my Juve? This is my third year, so it would be a serious problem if it weren't my Juve. We are coming off a month of pre-season training and I have blind trust in these lads because I'll never forget that in my first two years as a Coach at Juventus I won the title."
