Milan have been told to show their power as coach Massimiliano Allegri narrates his pre-Sampdoria prophecy.
"It will be a delicate game as we have played every three days with a great expenditure of energy," he told the press.
"Saturday will be our final push of this every period of playing every three days and then we will be able to prepare games once a week.
"There is no rush to get a result early in the game. We have to be careful and patient as we are tired physically and mentally."
Antonio Cassano is absent for Sampdoria, but it will give them a portal to be even more fired up for the fight.
The Italian has been crucial for the functioning of his team, but a feud with Riccardo Garrone is keeping him far from the pitch.
"Antonio is an extraordinary player and he can decide a game any minute," Allegri said.
"But without him they will be careful, they will be compact, more of a stimulus."

Ronaldinho's goal against Auxerre on Tuesday Champion League match could convince Allegri to start him from kick off as Milan desperately need new ammunition to reduce their dependability to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The final decision is still in Allegri's but many would said that Ibra need to take a rest for a match or two.
Ronnie never play full match since he was caught going out clubbing at night, and Allegri still not convinced whether he's fit enough to play from the start, despite Milan's worsening attacking condition.
As Milan thanked a moment of magic from Zlatan Ibrahimovic following the 1-0 victory over Fiorentina, coach Massimiliano Allegri praised the Rossoneri’s unity as the key to securing all three points.
“We secured a suffered victory this evening,” he declared to SkySport.
“This victory is an important sign of the unity within the side. We have reached a mental balance that is also evident in training during the week.
“Such a balance eventually pays dividends and of course when you have a player such as Ibrahimovic it is much easier to break open the deadlock. He scored a wonderful goal and is proving to be a fundamental part of our winning make-up.
“I am happy for the entire squad tonight however, as I saw some important performances from a number of players. [Daniele] Bonera for example did a wonderful job down the right and merit must be paid to the boys at the back who rolled up their sleeves and battled when the visitors looked to come back at us.”
Glad to have us back on winning tracks Mr. Allegri!
Just don't keep Dinho on the bench for too long!
Ronaldinho was reportedly seen leaving a restaurant in the wee hours of the morning in Milan and coach Massimiliano Allegri has explained that those types of late night events don't belong in the life of an athlete.
"I learned from you, no one had told me anything," he was quoted as saying by La Repubblica at the press conference ahead of Saturday's match with Fiorentina.
"Of course, this is not okay. They are not hours compatible with the life of an athlete, but after a trip it can also happen that someone throws a long dinner party."
