AC Milan's Massimo Ambrosini has hit back at Giorgio Chiellini after the Juventus defender accused Zlatan Ibrahimovic of slapping Marco Storari during the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final at San Siro.
The Sweden international, who was recently handed a three-game ban for slapping Napoli's Salvatore Aronica, has now been accused of striking the Bianconeri goalkeeper at the end of Wednesday's game, but Ambrosini believes that Chiellini should stay out of the matter.
"I think Chiellini should avoid taking this stance because it is unpleasant and out of place," Ambrosini told Sky.
"If an incident took place, then fine. But going to spy on him or searching for a culprit almost forcibly in the press room is something that should not happen."
The return leg will be played on March 21 at Juventus Stadium, as Milan aim to overturn a 2-1 deficit away from home.
