MILAN – Inter president Erick Thohir spoke to journalists before the Nerazzurri’s match against Bologna.
He was first asked about his Italian and what he said to the team. He replied: "I haven’t learnt Italian yet. I told the team that we have seven games left and it’s very important that the players and the coach share the same vision – that we need to be playing European football. It’s important for us to get points in these last seven games.
"Do Mazzarri and I share the same vision? Of course, we’ve always had the same vision: he’s our coach. It’s very difficult to have a coach with a different vision.
"Since I arrived here I’ve been saying that Serie A is not an easy league. Look at the results of some of the other teams: they’ve lost some of their home games. That’s the beauty of Serie A: there’s a lot of drama. And I think it’s important that people in Serie A recognise this so that we can monetise the situation and offer a very good product to watch all over the world.
"Guarin? What we’ve done before – not only with him but with all the players – is in the past. We need to face the next seven games."
Probed about Inter’s transfer targets, the president said: "I think it’s important to add a midfielder for next season but what kind of midfielder? You know me, I never declare anything until we sign. It’s important but when we sign we’ll make an announcement."
MILAN – Club captain Javier Zanetti stopped to speak to Sky Italia before tonight’s match against Bologna.
He said: "We’re working to be more consistent, but you get ups and downs in a season. We’ve got two points from the last three games and we know we can do much better. Tonight we have a great chance to get back to winning ways before the fixture list starts going uphill. But we want to get into Europe and this is the sort of match we like.
"Thohir spoke to us calmly, explaining that the Europa League is very important for the club and for the future.
"Guarin is working hard on his consistency, he’s had a few difficulties as any player might during the course of his career, but he’s got bags of character and he’ll prove his worth.
"My future? I always give all in training. I know what my role is and I try to respond whenever I’m called upon. At the end of the season we’ll see about the future and what the club wants."
