Pirlo: The pressure is now on Juventus

The experienced midfielder has conceded that it is now up to the Bianconeri to hold on to top spot in the table, and added that they should not look at their title rivals.Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has admitted that the pressure is now on the Old Lady after they leapfrogged title rivals AC Milan in the standings at the weekend.The Bianconeri recorded a 2-0 away win over Palermo on Saturday, whereas Milan were beaten 2-1 by Fiorentina, and Pirlo realises that Juve now have everything in their own hands."We know that everything now depends on us. Winning all seven of our remaining fixtures would put us out of sight," Pirlo said in an interview with Sky Italia."As it stands, we have a 50 per cent chance of winning the Scudetto. I don’t think Milan are in crisis. They were affected by tiredness from the Champions League on Saturday. But, I reiterate, now it’s all down to us."It’s been a while since we were top. Yet we’ve always been aware that we can do well and stay in touch with first place."Juventus resume Serie A action on Wednesday when they lock horns with Lazio.
