After tonight's 5-2 win away to Atalanta, Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara urges his team to keep their feet on the ground.

"Can we catch Inter? Calm, calm, calm, because we know Inter are Italian champions and every team will fight against them to take the Scudetto away from them," he said after the match to Sky.

"Juve have to think about their own season and how to improve themselves. I think games like this give you confidence, strength, and make you understand that we can go all the way with this spirit. It won't be easy, it's not easy to recover our disadvantage, but we must try, we are in November, the league is still long."

Currently Inter are four points ahead of Juve, although they have a match in hand, tomorrow night against Roma.

On the victory against Atalanta, Ferrara said: "We need to have this kind of mentality, always going forward and push our opponents into their own area. I think that we have been on a good run of results aside from the match against Napoli, and our play is also improving.

"Tonight I'm very satisfied with how the team handled difficult moments, with personality, because when they managed to come back twice some fear could have crept in, but the lads continued to maintain the same mentality."
