Sampdoria coach Dejan Stankovic was full of pride after victory at Cremonese on Monday night.
It marked a first win for Stankovic since his appointment, with Omar Colley scoring the winner.
Stankovic later said: "A complete emotion. It seems that we played at home, with the stands full and the away sector full and that confidence from the first to the last second.
"The boys were spectacular. Now I don't care to do analysis, we had to win and we found a way. Willingness, sacrifice and even luck reward you.
"The boys gave everything and I tried to put them in the physical, mental and tactical conditions to fight and be organised."
