Steven Zhang and Javier Zanetti travelled to China for the International Import Expo in Shanghai, on behalf of Inter and the new president addressed the gathered media upon their arrival.

“Inter is more than just a club, it is more than just a Football team, Inter can help educate the world about China and Chinese Football,” he said.

The young entrepreneur continued by outlining the advantages that both companies can offer each other.

“Inter will be the bridge of communication and culture between fans and consumers around the world. Suning also hopes that Inter will allow them to develop a better relationship between China and Italy, China and Europe, by educating Europe about Chinese culture, business, fans and consumers. In order to show everyone that Chinese Football is strong and that Chinese management is capable.”

As Football continues to expand, Inter will be hoping that their new owners are the key to unlocking the highly competitive Chinese Football market, which would no doubt give them a huge financial advantage over other European clubs, which can also help on-pitch success.
