<p><strong>MILAN</strong> - Following Friday afternoon’s Shareholders’ Meeting in Milan, both President Steven Zhang and CEO Alessandro Antonello took the time to answer questions from the journalists present.</p> <p>The first to speak was President Steven Zhang: “I had a great feeling about the Nerazzurri colours straight away. I knew Massimo Moratti and I’d always followed Inter. We decided to acquire the club’s shares because we want the club to build bridges for our fans across the world. Inter is about sharing the passion of millions of people all around the world and it is an important responsibility for us.</p> <p>“We decided to invest in Inter with the aim of getting the club back among the most important teams in world football. Our commitment must be to build a winning team and we will use all the necessary resources. Away from the transfer market, the fans can be assured that the Suning Group will take every possible chance to add more titles to our honours’ list.</p> <p>“We have a strong squad. We have players with personality and talent, just like the professionals that work for the club. Therefore, the fans can expect to be back winning again in the near future.</p> <p>“I am sure that the gap is getting smaller compared to last year and we will keep growing. I think that our players are the best. I believe in them and I think that they have the potential to win every game.</p> <p>"I am the youngest President in Italy and in Europe but I have already been working for two years with the team and we have already shown great improvement. I know that this is a great responsibility, but I don’t think that age is an issue. I am sure that I can do well, the past two years show this. I also have the right people working alongside me. I am proud, not frightened. Marotta? Over the past few years, Inter have been linked with big names, I am happy because it means that directors and players would like to come here but the truth is that there has been no negotiations between us. At the moment, there is no truth in this but if there are opportunities to improve the club, then we will be alert to the market.</p> <p>"I asked for advice from different people, including Massimo Moratti. He told to me to have faith in the decisions that I take and that he will always support me. He told me lots of things about Inter and he always supported me, even in the face of adversity.</p> <p>"The stadium? Speaking from a financial perspective, it is one of the main priorities and the most sensible thing is that Inter and Milan have one stadium, irrespective of whether it’s San Siro, which is a historic stadium and an iconic stage in world football. AC Milan and the city of Milan must align with us in order to complete this task as soon as possible in order to create the best experience for our fans. The priority is to stay at San Siro and modernise it."</p> <p>Alessandro Antonello discussed the modernisation of infrastructure. "The Suning Training Centre will be enlarged further, probably in the summer in order to provide the best infrastructure for those who work there. For San Siro, we are getting back in contact with AC Milan to evaluate possible solutions for a stadium in Milan. Having an adequate structure is part of the club’s plan for growth, by modernising San Siro or building a new stadium. After the change in ownership at Milan, the conditions might be right and we will look to speed things up because we cannot wait any longer."</p>
