Juventus coach Ranieri: I'm no idiot and I'm no Einstein

Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri isn't getting carried away with their spectacular upturn in results.

Ranieri smiled: "An idiot doesn't become Einstein overnight or even in the space of 15 days. It's the same man working here. I made mistakes before and I will make them before, the difference is that in the past I lost and now I'm winning."

Another victory away to Chievo on Sunday afternoon would maintain a remarkable momentum that has seen Juve beat Real Madrid twice and thump Roma.

"I don't think praise can be considered a danger for the team, but rather act as a vitamin boost. It won't take long to get our feet back on the ground as soon as we see Chievo's strength of character on the debut of their new Coach," continued Ranieri.

"We must maintain the same hunger and humility we showed at the Bernabeu, that is our mission. Clearly this Juventus side was built to trouble any opponent, even in Europe, and to win in Madrid without conceding is not something to be sniffed at.

"We are doing the right work, otherwise we would not be getting these results. If I can, then I will allow some players to rest this weekend."
