Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt feels that the Bianconeri must concentrate on winning their matches and not think about catching up to Inter.
Speaking to Italian broadcaster DAZN after his team’s dramatic late draw against Atalanta, the Dutchman emphasized the uncertainty still left at the top end of the Serie A table.
Juventus kept themselves in fourth place in the table by snatching a point from fifth-place Atalanta right at the death, albeit with La Dea having a game in hand on them.
Meanwhile, a few points above those two, Inter, AC Milan, and Napoli vie for top spot in the table.
For de Ligt, difficult results can come at any time, and the most important matter is to focus on winning one game at a time, and he is focused on getting the best possible table finish for the Bianconeri as he can with his teammates.
“Honestly this was a very important match for us, against a team close to us in the table,” he said of the Bianconeri’s draw with Atalanta.
“Let’s think about it one match at a time,” he said of the Scudetto race, “draws happen in football, look at Inter and Napoli yesterday. We just have to focus on winning matches and see how it goes.”
