Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti thanked Indonesians for supporting the Italian club as they traveled throughout the country during their five-day Inter Indonesia Tour 2012.

“Since I wasn’t able to be there due to work commitments, I would like to thank the Indonesian fans and their country for all the warmth, joy and passion that I was able to feel and experience, even if it was only by means of television broadcasts and stories from those who were there in Jakarta,” Moratti said on Sunday, in a press release.

The internationally-renowned Italian soccer club competed in two friendlies at Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, one on Friday and another on Saturday.

The team also attended several events around Jakarta, which included giving coaching clinics for young Indonesian soccer players on Friday.

“I felt moved and happy, even more so at the disposal of those fantastic fans, when thinking of the present and future that we can experience together, with the desire to dedicate to them all the emotions and victories that Inter will soon be achieving again,” Moratti said.

“Indonesia, I am grateful to you and I will always cherish these wonderful feelings.”
