The Friulani fought back twice from a goal down to beat Empoli 3-2, even after Marvin Zeegelaar was sent off.
“It is a very important victory against an Empoli side in a good period of form, so I congratulate the lads,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“We are seven points clear of the relegation zone and that isn’t bad, but there’s a lot more still to be done. This result does at least allow us to work in a slightly more relaxed atmosphere, without so much pressure.
“It was an entertaining game to watch, but probably more for the fans than it was for me on the bench, because I was mainly suffering!
“The players are at my disposal and work hard. A Coach can come in and try to make some changes, but the players have to put it into action and do what we practice in training.
“We saw some good things today, some not so good, and I’d prefer us to play the ball more, but I realise the team is accustomed to that style and it’ll take a little while to adapt.”
