Former Juventus star Michel Platini has paid tribute to coach Fabio Capello for his contribution to the team's success.
Juve are top of Serie A and still involved in the UEFA Champions League, and Platini believes that Capello deserves as much credit as any of the side's star players.
"Capello has charisma and knows when to choose the best players and when to rest them," the French legend remarked.
"The strength of Juve is the squad, because all the players have helped win matches. From (David) Trezeguet to (Alessandro) Del Piero, from (Zlatan) Ibrahimovich to (Adrian) Mutu, from (Pavel) Nedved to (Patrick) Vieira.
"They are a physically strong team, but with a lot of talent. Their strength is in the club and in the coach."
The 0-0 draw with Milan last Sunday kept the Bianconeri 10 points ahead of their nearest rivals, and Platini is confident that they will not be caught.
"I've never been so excited by a 0-0 draw, but due to the fact that this left Juve with a 10-point advantage, it was a good result. Knowing Juve's spirit, I would say the job is as good as done," he claimed.
Platini did offer the Italian club a word of warning ahead of their Champions League quarter final against Arsenal, though.
"Everyone thinks that this match could be easier than one against Lyon or Barcelona, but Arsenal can give Juve a lot of problems," he cautioned.
"And then The Gunners have a certain Thierry Henry, who saw off Real Madrid with his goal at the Bernabeu."
