Allegri: Juventus players still hungry

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has no doubts about their motivation going into the Coppa Italia final.

Juve meet Lazio tonight as they chase down the Treble.

"I'm not interested in comparisons with Conte! I know it's normal in life and football for journalists to compare, but what really matters is results, work and respect for everyone," Allegri said.

"It's dull to always get asked the same questions, but I repeat again that Conte did a great job and when a Coach achieves such results he will remain part of the club's history.

"Clubs remain, football moves on with players and Coaches. Juventus won four Scudetti also because the club worked well. It's not easy to win four titles in a row and next year will be even harder, as you always have to give something more.

"We're certainly not 'bored' of success in Italy. Just look at the way we played against Inter last week, having already secured our objective, with the same determination as if three points were crucial for the Scudetto.

"This is an important sign, because after defeat it becomes harder to train and you get irritated. We must try to lose as little as possible, as the more games we win, the more enthusiastic we are going into the Champions League Final."
