Juventus are back on the Scudetto trail but Lilian Thuram admits his side are still not at their best.
The Bianconeri beat Reggina 1-0 last night to close the gap on Roma and Milan but the Frenchman says it was tough.
"We are not playing great football at this moment in time and we did have our difficulties against Reggina too," he added.
"Fortunately the three points have helped our morale after the 4-0 defeat we suffered at Roma last week."
The Bianconeri were put on trial after that Olimpico display but showed signs of recovery with their Coppa Italia victory at Inter on Thursday.
"I think the win at Milan in the week may have been significant," he added. "We are slowly picking ourselves up."
Juventus were undoubtedly the big winners in Week 21 as Milan were held at Lecce and Roma failed to beat Ancona.
"That’s true but let’s not talk about that yet. We firstly need to start playing with determination and a better brand of football.
"We must continue to give our best in every game and just hope that the teams above us make a few errors."
