Juventus coach Max Allegri says the players must not worry about their 15 point penalty.

Juve are appealing the ruling which came for financial mismanagement.

Allegri, ahead of Sunday's clash with Atalanta, said: “Tomorrow is an important game, it's a special match after what happened yesterday. We all have to pull together even more, continue to work with a low profile. We only have to think about the pitch. We have to try to win tomorrow because it would allow us to hook seventh place. Then we have Europa League, Coppa Italia… We have to do the best we can.

“We must not restart, these judicial matters concern the club, there will be an appeal. Given the league table we have to try to win tomorrow to be on 25 points."

Allegri was asked if Juventus could play more lightly following the decision.

“At Juventus you never play lightly. Next week Pogba and Vlahovic will be back, tomorrow we'll have Cuadrado available. Before yesterday's ruling Juventus had 37 points with every chance of playing for a place in the Champions League and maybe the title.

“We must do our duty because the final verdict will be in two months and we must not let ourselves find ourselves in two months with regrets for not having done what we had to do. But we also went through this two months ago with the overturning of the board of directors.

“We come out of these unforeseen events individually strengthened with all the calmness of the case and above all with commitment and determination to do what we have to do, which is to win on the pitch."
