Corriere dello Sport have been nothing but praiseworthy for Inter president Steven Zhang off the back of his appointment to the European Club Association board yesterday.

“He has become the youngest executive in history to be elected onto the ECA board. For him and for Inter it was a great victory,” the report from the Rome based news outlet begins.

“He could not hide his satisfaction after his appointment and did not hold himself back even when he was having to discuss Inter. The team’s excellent start in the league, the big transfer window and the arrival of Antonio Conte as manager have given him confidence and optimism that this season will be a fun one for the fans.

The report concludes: “There is no certainty that Inter will beat Juventus and win immediately and he has called for patience and calmness. He is a wise president despite his age.”
