Manninger insists Juventus can still win Scudetto

Juventus goalkeeper Alex Manninger insists they can get back in the title hunt - starting with victory tonight against AC Milan.

Ciro Ferrara's side welcome AC Milan to the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday lying one point behind their opponents and nine adrift of league leaders Inter Milan.

"There are 20 possibilities (to catch Inter) because that is the number of matches left," he said on the Juventus Channel.

"We will try to win them all, knowing that we cannot afford more bad moves. In every match we will need maximum concentration to get the right result."

The Austrian added: "We needed a different start (to 2010) because at Juventus one cannot accept three consecutive defeats.

"Not even we knew why everything was going so wrong. In Bari we played well and yet we lost. Against Catania we did quite well with a number of attempts on goal but three minutes from full-time they scored to make it 1-2.

"Anyway we needed the victory (over Parma) for the morale."
