Inter president spoke about the renovations of the training center, the state of Italian football and Inter fans.

From the United States where Inter is on tour, Inter president Erick Thohir, after the words of yesterday, has released another interview on the club’s official website:
“We have addressed many topics in this second day. We want to speed up the process of updating our facilities at Appiano Gentile, perhaps adding more fields. We want to further develop the training center. Not only Appiano though but also for the youth sector structures to help the youngsters grow. There is a commitment between the first team and the Primavera to work together almost as one unit. From the sporting point of view we will try to expand the work team, with a manager at Appiano to oversee the structure, while we already have a manager for the players, who will take care of their needs: a common thing in the US ”
“I am very happy to know that the number of our fans in the world is growing. Last year we had about 254 million fans now we have grown to 311 million. It is a beautiful growth but obviously we want to increase them even more thanks to Inter Channel and our social channels: Today an increasing number of young people have access to new media. ”

“All the clubs of Serie A should work together to compete with the other leagues. Serie A and the presidents must work together to grow the championship. Today we are the fourth European league, we were the third a few years ago and I would not want to see us slipping to fifth place in the coming years, because if we look at the global revenues now the Premier League is in first place, the second is the Bundesliga and then comes La Liga. It is important for the league and the clubs that are part of growing and be assured of being able to compete, including the globalization that is taking place and, as you know, Suning is one of the biggest supporters of the sale of TV rights in China, having purchased the rights for the transmission of many games, they want to help the development of the Serie A in China and the Italian market. ”
