The cause of the matter is very simple.
Originally, Inter Milan will be away against Juventus last weekend. The result of this national derby is believed to determine to a large extent the ownership of the Serie A title this season.
Before the game, Serie A adjusted the schedule to consider the safety of the epidemic: At first the league decided to open the multiple games of this round including the focus game, and then on Saturday morning, it suddenly changed its course to delay the game to May 14. Mid-Sunday.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Kangyang posted on social media, pointing directly at Serie A chairman Paul Dalpino.
"Why can some games be played in the open field, while others must be postponed? This country's Derby has benefited from the open field to the postponement. It is very obvious who will benefit. Our 25th round match has not yet been finalized. Decided on the 26th round? "

Chairman Zhang was excited and yelled at his name, using words such as "abominable clown" and "shameless", which totally did not conform to the implicit and modest image of the Chinese in traditional impressions.
"It has been a hasty change of schedule but has always put public health in second place. You may be the biggest and most hateful clown I have ever seen."
"Now you talk about sportsmanship and fair play. Otherwise, let the players and coaches play for you 24 hours a day, 7 days, 24 hours, right? Yeah, I'm talking to you, Paul Dalpino ( Paolo DalPino)! You are so shameless. "
Before this news was issued, Zhang Kangyang had been in charge of Inter for more than a year.

October 26, 2018 is a meaningful day for Inter Milan, a club with more than 100 years of history. The Serie A giant officially announced that Suning Shao advocated that Kangyang replaced Toshir and officially became the new chairman of the club. At the age of 27, he also became the youngest chairman of the Inter Milan team.
Kangyang Zhang graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and has a unique ability in the field of economics. It is worth mentioning that before he officially took over as the club's chairman, the Blues and Blacks experienced a long trough, and he knew little about football.
However, with the entry of coach Conte and the assistance of general manager Marotta, Zhang Kangyang not only showed ease in the football field, but also provided Inter Milan with a long-lost championship temperament and confidence.
The data is the most true reflection of Inter's changes in recent years. According to data released at the shareholders' meeting held at the end of 2019, Inter Milan has 385 million fans worldwide. Currently has 120 million fans in Chinese clubs, an increase of 30% over the previous season. Last season, Inter Milan's brand value increased by 20%-to 465 million euros.
The positive changes shown by the club make Zhang Kangyang confident that the current Inter Milan has entered a new era, which is also an important journey for the club to embark on a leading role in the sports industry.
From barely retaining the Champions League seat to having the power to shake Juventus' dominance, this 27-year-old young man who didn't know football had taken great care. Now, his anger stems from a year of hard work that may delay seeing results, or even fail.

Long before Zhang Kangyang, Inter Milan general manager Marotta had already protested the arrangement of the event. Marotta believes that the standard should be uniform. If only part of the game is postponed, it will only lead to the disadvantages of some teams in the later stage. Inter will also be damaged due to the continuous extension. The schedule for May will be unimaginable. Subsequent competition arrangements and training plans were disrupted.
How did Serie A chairman Dalpino respond to the protests of Inter Milan general manager Marotta?
"On Friday I proposed to postpone Inter's match against Juventus to next Monday to ensure that the audience can enter the stadium to watch the game, but Inter rejected the proposal flatly. They think it is their responsible performance, but this is in line with the league It doesn't matter if it's not working properly. Marlotta represents Inter's needs and interests, and I defend the interests of the entire Serie A alliance. "

In other words, Zhang Kangyang's "furious anger" today did not happen on a whim. If the current schedule is followed, Inter's next day will be far more horrifying than the "Devil's Schedule".
At present, Inter Milan still maintains the third-line battle. Under the theoretical possibility, if they finally reach the final two cups and still maintain the hope of winning the championship before the final round of the league, then the season of impact from April 19 to May 27 Inter can play up to 12 games, and from May 20 to May 27, they will play two finals and a Serie A league that is most likely to win the championship.
Looking at world football, no team can bear this intensity, even if your lineup is deep enough. For Zhang Kangyang, who is interested in reviving Inter, he cannot accept that such a thing happened.

If you are familiar with the history of Inter Milan, you will find that it has a long history with the word "struggle".
In the winter of 1899, the "Milan Football and Cricket Association" was founded in Milan. The founder was Alfred Edwards from the United Kingdom, which is now the AC Milan team. AC is actually the Italian FC, which is the abbreviation of the Italian "football club".
After several years of steady development, the team's strength has become stronger and stronger, and the team has more and more members, but the original veterans did not wait to see the new foreign players, which led to the team's internal contradictions.
Time went to 1908, and the conflict finally broke out. The Italian and Swiss players in the team were very dissatisfied with the excessive Britishization of the team, and were angry with the veterans to crowd out foreign players. So some of the players decided to join forces to form a new football team Convenient to receive foreign players, on March 9, 1908, Inter Milan Football Club was born.

Similar to Barcelona's growth history, Inter Milan was born in a struggle, and the struggle was accompanied by the growth of this century-old club.
Throughout Inter's 100-year history, the Blues and Blacks may not have won the championship as many times as Juventus. Inter's achievements in the European War may not be as high as AC Milan, but as the Inter Milan team sings, the Blues and Blacks are Italian football The only giant in the altar that has not been tried for playing fake balls, Inter is also the only team in the northern three that has not been relegated. Moreover, Inter's 100-year history proves that the Blue and Black Army has been working hard for their dreams and goals.
Inter's revival is still on the road, and the "fighting" of the Chinese Shaodong will not end, and he has also received some voices from the Italian football.

Lecce coach Livilani, who completed the game this round, said: "In Italian football, some decisions are unreasonable and illogical. Under some asylum, football has become dark ...
In this post on personal social media, many fans even expressed their support for Zhang Kangyang with words such as "thank you for your voice" and "excellent behavior".
On the evening of the 3rd Beijing time, according to the Italian National Radio, the Italian Football Association's Prosecutor's Office has started an investigation into the remarks of Inter Milan President Zhang Kangyang shelling the Italian Football Association. The outcome of this struggle is unknown, and no party has the intention to retreat. The direction of this national derby and more schedules is still confusing.

As the chairman of this club, Zhang Kangyang was responsible for the team's rejuvenation, but at the same time as a young owner with a strong understanding of economics, he was responsible for his own profits and losses. Regardless of his status, Zhang Kangyang must conduct these struggles.
Zhang Kangyang's anger, born of anger, truly represents his current feelings. This is an instinctive reaction of a Chinese man longing for success in world football.
"Everyone in the world, whether you are an Inter or Juventus fan, or you are not a fan at all, please take care of yourself, take care of your family, and our entire society." (End)
