Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin has called on his players not to get ahead of themselves.
The Friulani have become unlikely Scudetto contenders after ending 2011 in third place, just two points off joint Serie A leaders Milan and Juventus.
"I am concentrated only on the next game against Cesena," said the Coach. "What counts is what we will do, not what we have done.
"I can already feel the tension rising, because we are returning to work after the winter break, which was above all necessary for the South American players. The start of 2012 provides us with some big question marks and we have only got to concentrate on what's happening now."
