Milan based news outlet Gazzetta dello Sport have analysed Inter and Suning owner Jindong Zhang’s ongoing visit to Milan, which began yesterday and will end today.

“After the game Jindong will leave again, heading for Nanjing. Waiting for the next visit. His visit to the training ground, which now bears the name of his company, is symbolic, precisely because it has occurred at the moment of greatest growth of Inter,” the report begins.

“Tonight Inter will make their debut in the Champions League, the brightest showcase there is, which has always been dear to those who created the Suning empire from nothing.

“Inter is the ideal way to broaden the horizons of the Zhang family. Today Jindong will have the opportunity to visit the new club headquarters.

“The project is long-term, with intermediate steps that are long, sometimes interminable. Inter has now entered a new dimension and who knows if Jindong Zhang, who is both charismatic as well as mysterious, did not give a further push to the squad for the chase towards success.”
