"Juventus players should not be disheartened" : Antonio Conte

Juve were held 1-1 at home to Chievo on Saturday, allowing title holders Milan - who have played one game more - to move three points clear at the top, as they demolished Palermo 4-0.

Some home supporters jeered the players following the disappointing result in Turin, which was Juve's fourth draw from their last five matches in Serie A.

They can draw level on points with Milan if they beat Bologna in a rescheduled fixture on Wednesday and Conte feels his players, who are still unbeaten in the league this term, have every reason to be proud of their efforts.

"Why should my players feel depressed, given the extraordinary season we've been having? Quite the opposite," Conte said.

"Let's not look at what the others are doing and keep focused on ourselves, let's think about giving all that we have, starting with myself, and then we'll see at the end of the season what all this will bring about."

"Up to now all this effort we put in made us competitive once more, made Juventus respected on every pitch we play and feared by our opponents again."

"Now our opponents give their absolute all if they want to beat us. That's what all our effort has brought about up to now, so I don't see any reason why we should feel depressed, quite the opposite."

"I think we should be very proud and satisfied with what we've been doing and obviously we need to continue like this until the end of the season and only then we can see what position we will be in on the table."

"As I always tell the guys, it's important not to regret anything or anyone, let's continue giving all that we have."

Juve travel to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara to take on 14th-placed Bologna, who have won three of their last four matches.

The fixture was postponed last month due to bad weather.
