Juventus coach Antonio Conte has expressed his satisfaction with his side's preparation for the second half of the season, and feels the Bianconeri are ready for this weekend's match against Lecce following their training camp in the United Arab Emirates.

The Old Lady recorded a 7-1 friendly won over Al Hilal on Thursday to conclude their working visit, and Conte was pleased with his side's performance in the UAE.

"We’ve worked hard and we’ve managed to stick to the programme we came up with," Conte was quoted as saying on the club's official website.

"And then we’ve seen ourselves surrounded by so much affection. Tonight [Thursday] at the stadium the fans even sang the chants that we usually hear in Italy. This must make us aware that Juve are loved all over the world.

"It needs to be an added incentive for us to give our maximum in every game - starting from Sunday."

The Old Lady's away game versus Lecce kicks off at 15.00CET.
