Juventus coach Antonio Conte insists they remain in a strong position in the title race.

Juve are three points behind AC Milan, but have a game in hand and superior goal difference.

"My question is this - why should I get depressed for an extraordinary League campaign that we are producing?" Conte asked on Tuesday to the assembled media.

"Contrary, we think only of doing our best, we think how we can give everything, myself first.

"Until now, this effort had led us to become competitive again, to be respected on the field again, to be feared again, to find opponents that give 150 per cent to try to beat us, to find teams that still try to beat us.

"This is all because of our maximum effort, so I see no reason for depression. We must be very proud, very strong and very satisfied with what we are doing."
