Inter Milan GM Beppe Marotta highlighted president Steven Zhang after their Scudetto was confirmed.

Inter are champions after victory over AC Milan on Monday.

We dedicate this title to our President Steven Zhang, who is celebrating at a distance and couldn't be here with us," Marotta told DAZN.

We must also give the credit to Simone Inzaghi, who proved himself not just a fine coach, but a winning one too. He is the leader of this group.

I thank all those behind to scenes who supported the team and the club, we all contributed in our own small way to ensure the team run by Simone can achieve this Scudetto and the incredible achievement of the second star."

On coach Simone Inzaghi, he also said: The human element is essential, as you can have great players, but if they are not also great men, it becomes more difficult to form a team.

I again credit Inzaghi, as every coach has his own method and language with the team, he is perfect at creating a rapport with the players and they feel at ease with him. He is like a friend or a former teammate more than anything else.

He achieved the best out of these players, both on and off the field, and that winning mentality therefore also circulated rapidly among the rest of the team. That includes the 12 new players who arrived this season, let us not forget.

I also believe it is important to have a core group of Italian players who understand what it means to play in Italy, to suffer away to the smaller clubs and get those results."
