"'Pak Erick Thohir ini lucu, jadi ketua PSSI, seakan-akan kerjaannya di BUMN itu sudah selesai. Pak Erick Thohir, bocah aja tahu, selesain dulu PR-nya lalu main bola.'"At the end of each presidential candidate's session, they were asked to stand in front of a large mirror and convey a message as a self-reflection on becoming President of Indonesia; of the three, Prabowo Subianto refused to do so.
