“In terms of pure quality, over the first three games, Greenwood is perhaps the best player in Ligue 1,” Daniel Riolo said. “We’re not going to talk about the past and the fact that he’s banned from England, we all know his story. We’re going to talk about the pitch, it’s extraordinary.”
“He is above Ligue 1”
Greenwood had already made his mark by scoring twice in Brest (4-1) on his debut. He also found the net against Reims (2-2). “It’s maybe two or three flashes per match but it’s sharp, crazy,” added Daniel Riolo, speaking of the 22-year-old. “His precision, his speed of execution, we’re facing a guy who has qualities that are well above average. He’s above Ligue 1, he’s a very great player.”
