Erick Thohir made a gaffe when asked about why he bought Inter in 2013. “I’ve been a fan since they bought the Dutch trio…”
Thohir wrongly referred to Frank Rijkaard, Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten, all of whom joined Milan in the 1980s, when Inter had actually signed the German trio of Lothar Matthaus, Andreas Brehme and Jurgen Klinsmann.
“Buying a football club isn’t just a matter of business, you have to love that team,” the club’s President told Metronews in his native Indonesia.

“I’ve been an Inter fan since they bought the Dutch trio and then Ronaldo’s arrival.
“But I want to thank President Moratti for giving me the opportunity to become the club’s first foreign President.”
