Inter Milan president Steven Zhang said he was ready to shake up European football with his youthful energy and enthusiasm after being elected onto the board of the European Club Association (ECA).
Zhang, 27, becomes the first Chinese among the 24 board members of the ECA which represents 246 clubs, elected on a four-year mandate until 2023.
"I'm young, but age doesn't matter," Zhang told journalists in Geneva after his election on Tuesday.
"I bring my energy and my enthusiasm, new ideas to European football. I feel ready at my age for the new job."
"Football can no longer be limited to the 90 minutes of the game. Technology, video clips and social networks are increasingly important."
