Juventus coach Sarri has warning after victory over Lazio

Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri urged calm after their 2-1 defeat of Lazio.

Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice for the victory, but Sarri insists the Scudetto is not yet won.

“As I've always said, talking about an opportunity to win is like a chance to score a goal. It means nothing unless the objective is achieved. We need to get another four points, every point is difficult at the moment playing every three days, so we've got to keep focused," the coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“There are ifs and buts, but at the first if, that's when I stop listening!"

Ronaldo took his tally up to 30 goals in Serie A this season, the first Juventus player to achieve that since the 1950s.

“When Cristiano smells blood… He's extraordinary, as he recovers so quickly between games. It's not just physical, but psychological. He could be someone who uses up so much energy in each game, but he recovers it every time and he's world class in the mind as well as the legs."
