AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli knows Tottenham will throw everything at them on Wednesday night.
Milan are in London for the second-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie defending a 1-0 lead.
Pioli said, "I'd like to think and really believe that these are matches that prepare themselves, but it's not like that.
Then I believe that there will be no need to motivate the team because we all know the importance of this match, it would mean going through a round, it would mean improving on our European path so much compared to last season.
On the fact that the team will be motivated, attentive, concentrated, I don't have the slightest doubt. Then it's clear that we've prepared for the match.
We played against them a fortnight ago, we know our opponents. From a tactical point of view, we have done our tests where we expect feedback in the game tomorrow."
He was asked if he expects to see a similar Tottenham side to the one that lost 1-0 in the first leg.
Strangely for English teams that don't change their attitude, Tottenham are a team that have different attitudes and numbers, positively, in home games compared to away games.
We have analysed their home games very well, they can be more aggressive than they were in Milan, more intense, more energetic. They won't be able to surprise us on this because we know them."
Pioli also said: "Just as we certainly gained energy from the fans in a fantastic stadium, so will they tomorrow, but our fans will also be there and they will make themselves heard.
It depends on our attitude, our approach to the match, which will have to be strong and intense, because we expect our opponents to do that.
We will have to be prepared to fight ball after ball, because then the matches are prepared on a strategic and tactical level, but then it's the moments that can determine such an important result.
You have to put something more into these moments because you make them favourable rather than the opposite."
