Zhang and Inter: the Italian Cup, karts, Ferraris, risotto and dancing at Twiga

Steven Zhang doesn’t stop. With the Italian Cup yesterday, May 24, against Fiorentina he won his fifth trophy with Inter. Now he has only Massimo Moratti ahead of him, with his 16 titles, and his father Angelo Moratti, with seven but with two Champions Cups on the bulletin board. Then, however, in the ranking of the most successful presidents in Inter’s history, there is Steven Zhang, 31, the first foreign owner to win a tricolor in Italy. He succeeded in 2020-21, with Antonio Conte on the bench, but from then on he has established a remarkable feeling with the successes. Two more successes arrived in 2021-22: the Italian Super Cup and the Italian Cup, to which, in this 2022-23, he added another Italian Super Cup and another Italian Cup. And there’s still the Champions League final against Manchester City on 10 June in Istanbul: I can’t say how proud and happy I am with this victory – admitted the Inter number one – and the credit must be shared with the management, the technical staff and the team that have a winning mentality. They proved it again by taking another cup. Everything confirms the goodness of the work we have done together for Inter. And again: Let’s not talk about the Champions League final – he explained – because I have become Italian and you have to think about one game at a time. Now let’s focus on Saturday’s match against Atalanta, not the Champions League. City are strong, but we too have grown a lot: if I think about six years ago, Inter did not even participate in the Champions League and instead in this period we have won 5 cups and played in various finals. All this thanks to the sacrifices of those who work for the club. I share the merits with everyone. I am proud of this brave Inter. On the field and in life. However, he didn’t want to hear any comparisons with the Moratti family: Angelo and Massimo Moratti are in the hearts of the Inter fans and I’m proud to be behind them.
