Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri has rubbished claims of a rift with his players.

After their 1-1 draw with AC Milan, Ranieri said: "The team is against me? I am always there and I see them in training.

"For one year and nine months we produced excellent performances. For a month we struggled, but we need to understand these young players. We are a team that must always play at 120 per cent, when we do the opposition struggle against us."
