'Juve have won the Scudetto of getting criticised' - Allegri blasts unnecessary pessimism

The 49-year-old remains optimistic about his side's title chances regardless of the loss at Fiorentina, insisting doubts are wildly overblown

Massimiliano Allegri says Juventus have won the "Scudetto of getting criticised" after pessimism surrounding their form of late, insisting they have no reason to panic.

Doubts have loomed over the Bianconeri's ability to defend their title following their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Fiorentina.

The Turin giants hold a one-point lead over Roma at the top of the table with a game in hand, but have been less dominant than in previous seasons, suffering four defeats so far this term.
