Udinese have four points from two games since Luca Gotti's sacking.
"We have to power ourselves one game at a time. That's not just true of Udinese, but all the teams, big or small," Cioffi told Sky Italia.
“I simply brought out what they already had within them and have always had within them. I'm not a guru or anything!
“In order to get a result, we must be courageous, both when defending and attacking. Even if they built it out with four sitting deep, we had to do the dirty work with the strikers and everyone else to get it done. Spirit of sacrifice, working for the team, that's what we saw from Deulofeu tonight and against Milan.
“Now we enjoy this victory, then from tomorrow head down and keep pumping on the pedals, because we mustn't lose momentum. We have to keep pedalling.
“Cagliari have a lot of quality, but are also in a difficult moment, and we did well to ensure we didn't leave anything by the wayside.
“You need courage to face your opponents, and courage brings confidence, then you can feel ready to take risks, to break teams down. You can't just wait and hope the opposition gives you a chance. You have to go and create that chance for yourself, go and take it from them."
