Cagliari coach Gianluca Festa insists they can beat the drop after a shock win over Fiorentina.
The Sardinians won 3-1 in Florence.
"We are very happy, because in a difficult situation the lads proved they are still alive," Festa told Sky Sport Italia.
The Coach was appointed this week after Zdenek Zeman tended his resignation.
"It wasn't easy to come here and play the way we did against Fiorentina. The team understood the situation and worked well. I am truly impressed.
"I fielded an attacking side because we must try to get maximum points in every venue. The credit for this success above all goes to the attitude of the squad. We did a lot of work on that aspect.
"We believe in safety, but in order to get there have to be focused only on excellent performances. We will try to build on this and from tomorrow will think about the next game."
