Inter Milan GM Marotta appreciates Chinese owners

Inter Milan GM Beppe Marotta appreciates the management of the club's Chinese owners.

Marotta admits president Steven Zhang doesn't interfere in football matters.

“Inter is the first time I have worked with foreign club owners," he said.

"They have made huge investments, pumping in almost €1 billion. The owners guarantee we can put together a competitive squad despite the fact the current investments are smaller.

“The benefit of working with Chinese owners is that the pressure they put on us is relative, they largely leave us to get on with it. The trouble in Italy is that people don't know how to deal with defeat. As soon as there's a setback, the media and ultras pile on, and you don't get that abroad.

“It is difficult to have the right balance when dealing with victory or defeat, as the dynamics change."
