Massimo Ambrosini has rubbished claims that AC Milan are too old to win any silverware in the current campaign.

Milan have experienced a rocky start to the season, as the Rossneri have won well and lost badly, and the club's critics are out baying for blood, saying that the team has too many players over the age of 30.

Ambrosini insists that such criticism will only motivate the team to achieve great things.

"The murmurs are always caused by results and it's normal that players of a certain age are blamed when things go wrong," Ambrosini told the press.

"This is a stimulus for us. We do not feel old or finished and we have shown that this season.

"People used to say the same things about Juventus, but look how well they are doing. Ten years ago our players came under huge scrutiny, but then we went on to win everything."
