“Do I have a message for the fans to stop jeering the team and Coach at San Siro? No, no, I am not the one who has to send a message to anyone,” Thohir told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“It is the team on the field who must send a good message to the fans and I hope they will.”
The President was asked whether the 1-1 draw with Saint-Etienne in the Europa League gave the response he was looking for.
“Now we will think of Verona. We must concentrate only on that game and have to get points. I am convinced the team will do well on Sunday, but the fact remains I expect to get points over the next three games.
“I know the difference between one and three points means a victory, but I’d really like the next matches to bring points – plural.
“I say that because the real challenges will be against Milan and Roma, which can give us an important push up the table.”
Thohir took time to praise 17-year-old striker Federico Bonazzoli, who made his full debut against Saint-Etienne on Thursday.
“In a difficult game like Saint-Etienne, we saw something important and I am referring to Bonazzoli. He played really well and he sends a message to our Academy: if you work hard and want to go far, you have a chance at Inter.
“We want to invest in Bonazzoli and help him grow, because we believe in him.”
