“When I close my eyes, I see a city with so much history and more to be written,” he said.

“People with ideas, with the will to improve what’s around them and themselves.

“A club that plays beyond the field to win the hearts of everyone. But then I open my eyes and see that all this is already here. I’m ready, are you?”

The 26-year-old [pictured, left], is the son of Zhang Jindong, who owns a majority stake in Inter through Chinese conglomerate Suning, and becomes the Nerazzurri’s youngest-ever President.

[Ed.]

Why is it nepotism?

His father owns the club. He can appoint anyone he trusts.

#NepotismIsHere

Nepotism would mean to hire his incompetent family members in key positions only to get a payment. This term is usually deployed when it comes to the state-apparatus, unworthy people leeching public funds.

If you really feel the need to accuse him of some thing: more like cult of personality I was expecting Moratti to have AngeloMario run the club, but it never happend. So good luck Kangyang!

I don`t know about you, but I much rather prefer to see a young, energic and enthusiastic president run the club, that does care about top notch quality and innovation.

Gotta admit I enjoy reading your posts Dario. There is so much creativity and passion in them.

On another note I wish best of luck to our new president Steven Zhang. From what he has shown so far, he looks like he really loves Inter and is very committed to the club.

Best of luck Steven. You seem sincere, but I'm afraid your inexperience, for lack of a better word, in Italy means Marotta's arrival is imminent

Open a new chapter, don't recycle Juve's trash.

 

[phonk]

Best of luck Steve-O

 

[J..]

Welcome Steven

Best of luck Steven. You seem sincere, but I'm afraid your inexperience, for lack of a better word, in Italy means Marotta's arrival is imminent

Open a new chapter, don't recycle Juve's trash.

Honestly Rube did well with Marotta. The combination of an enthusiastic young man and an experienced Italian football-related CEO could be a great combination again as it was in Rube.

I'm definitely positive about this.

 

[Jane The Virgin]

Young, intelligent, educated, down to earth (as much as a billionare can be) guy as a president, someone who cried when we qualified for champions league, someone who could choose to be anywhere else in the world but chose to be here and have a major role...

I am all in.

Fuck the haters.

 

[.h.]

His appointment brings down the average age of our team too eh

 

[Barellielo]

Yes he was, and he brought us only bad luck

is this bad luck in the form of the players he brought, ie the likes of mvila, taiders, botta etc?

Good to know some appreciate my work here, sometimes it feels I invest too much in FIF..

I almost forgot about this video:

Things are finally looking good for us and I`m confident we`re on the right track.

 

[king_elnino]

He has a great passion for this club..
The tears when we qualified for CL is a prove how much he care about this club.

21 December .. i guess he’s a Sagitarius.
usually this type of people was a sensitive one. I guess the tears against Lazio is a prove.

Good luck il presidente.

please sign a potential legend for your first signing.

 

[ADRossi]

I didn't know he went to Wharton. Obviously his family's money helped him get in, but that's impressive.

 

[firmino]

he is very self-confident and very focused on the goals he wants to reach for Inter, which are both a plus. that's how much i can tell about him so far. time will tell how good of a president he will be.
