In Serie A in the early morning of January 17, Inter drew 0-0 away to Atalanta. In this Serie A battle, Inter President Zhang Kangyang also came to the scene. After returning to Milan City, Zhang Kangyang has oversaw 3 matches, including a Super Cup victory over Juve, and Inter won the second crown of the Suning era.

Inter's Meazza Stadium is just 60KM away from Atlanta's Gavis Arena and can be reached in 45 minutes by car. For Zhang Kangyang, this away game is no different from the home game.
Italian "whole market" and other media, revealing a small episode:
Italian media: Zhang Kangyang and Perkasi chatted freely
Before the serie A match, Inter Milan president Zhang Kangyang chatted with Atlanta CEO Luca Perkasi. The Italian media described it as a "very open exchange." Because there was no radio equipment at the scene, the content of Zhang Kangyang's long conversation with Perkasi was unknown to the outside world - even the media reporter did not even take a photo.
CEO of Atlanta
Luca Perkasi, 41, has similarities with Zhang Kangyang: both are top rich second generations. Perkasi's father, Antonio Perkasi, made a fortune of $1.2 billion in the real estate, fashion and retail industries and was president of the Atlanta Club. The majority shareholder (52% of the shares) of the famous Italian makeup brand KIKO is none other than perkasi the elder.
A number of Italian media have pointed out that the chat between Zhang Kangyang and Perkasi is probably two levels: first, Atalanta's play style is full of ornamental; second, about Atlanta's new stadium (Gevis Arena).
Gavis Arena
Atlanta's new stadium, the Gavis Arena, although it can only accommodate 23,000 spectators, is far less than the Meazza Stadium. However, the stadium is owned by Club Atlanta, which invested €40 million in 2019 to renovate the stadium and complete it in 2021. In the first two years of the Champions League, Atalanta also temporarily rented inter (AC Milan) Meazza stadium, which was jokingly called the "true Nerazzurri" by fans.
The new stadium design of milan and milan
Owning a new stadium is Inter's goal. As we all know, the San Siro (Meazza) stadium is owned by the state, and the Milan duo are just tenants. Inter want to build their own new stadium, which is the club's dream and goal. Last November, Inter CEO Antonello confirmed that the new stadium will be completed in 2027. By the time the new stadium is put into use, Inter will be able to add 80 million euros in revenue per year.
