OM's No. 1 offensive asset, Mason Greenwood did not exist for a single second on Sunday evening during the clash against PSG at the Vélodrome. Roberto De Zerbi and the regional press did not miss the England international.
He is the striker who should allow Olympique de Marseille to take a step forward in this type of match but on Sunday evening, Mason Greenwood achieved nothing against Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the 9th day of Ligue 1 at the Vélodrome. Aligned in the right lane of the Olympian attack, the former Manchester United striker was especially distinguished by enormous nonchalance, completely abandoning Murillo and benefiting the fiery PSG duo on the left, formed by Nuno Mendes and Barcola. It is no coincidence that Roberto De Zerbi chose to bring out his star at half-time. After OM's defeat at the Vélodrome, the Italian technician justified his choice and did not spare Mason Greenwood, affirming that he expected much more from the former player of the English selection.
“Greenwood gave us a lot of goals and points but when you are at OM, if you want to fight for the championship, you have to push in every match. We can't say to ourselves that we're having a good performance by scoring two goals and then having a slump in the next match. This is not possible. He's a good player but I expected more from him tonight. But not only from him. I always expect more in general” said Roberto De Zerbi, disappointed by the cataclysmic performance of his best player. But it was nothing compared to the comments full of irony from La Provence.
Mason Greenwood gets expensive after OM-PSG
“The ex-England international, an outcast on his island, tried everything to make his supporters smile, on edge. First by delivering cross-sections for imaginary colleagues, and above all, by often turning around. Quite a number. After all, the Vel' was a circus where no Olympian forgot to don his red nose. Evil tongues will say that Hojbjerg tried to put an end to his ordeal by knocking him out with this concrete block thrown in the face” railed the pro-OM daily before concluding. “Exited through the very small door, Greenwood, for the moment very strong with the weak, turned out to be very weak with the strong. Damage “ regrets Provence which, like Roberto De Zerbi, expects much more from OM's top scorer since the start of the season. His reaction will be watched and awaited on Sunday evening during the trip from Marseille to Nantes.
