Erick Thohir: “No problem with Mazzarri”

MILAN – President Erick Thohir took questions from the reporters waiting for him at Milano Malpensa when he arrived this morning.

"Has Milan become my second home? No, I have to be here to do a lot of things.

"Angry about the last match? No, I never get angry. You feel sad, but that’s normal when you lose a game as a fan or as a president. It would be strange if you were laughing after losing a game.

"A forward with experience or a young player? It depends on the discussions we have with the coach and the management about how we can be more consistent up front. In the end it depends on the players, the formation and the strategy that we want to use.

"Am I satisfied with Mazzarri’s work? Yes, I don’t have any problem with him or with the management. When it comes to the end of the season we review everything, for example if our website’s not doing well, why that is, how do we improve ticketing and so on. As a businessman I need to review things.

"Torres, Morata and Dzeko? What I said is that we need someone up top. The media have written about those players and I mentioned that one of them would be good for Inter.

"Evra and Sagna? We’ve never had any negotiations with Evra. We’re interested in Sagna because we need to balance the team. Right now we only have Nagatomo and Jonathan. If one of them gets injured you need somebody else to come in.  But if Sagna decided to stay in England, we’d understand and in that case we might bring in a young player from our academy.

"Would Bardi coming back next season mean Handaovic leaves? That’s not the plan but it’s good to have two good goalkeepers."
