Thohir also commented on Coach Mazzarri after the Milan Derby defeat left their Europa League qualification in doubt.
“Mazzarri will remain. He still has a contract and I want to respect that. I understand the criticism. I also felt unhappy but we need to give him a chance because it's important that we start the new season with stability so we can grow with sustainability.”
President Thohir is heading to London next week and was asked whether it was for a meeting with Chelsea over Fernando Torres.
“No, I'm going to London for other meetings.”
