Greenwood, gifted but also lazy?

Against FC Nantes, last Sunday in the closing match of the tenth day of Ligue 1Mason Greenwood was probably the best Marseille player on the Beaujoire pitch. In all good moves, the England international made his solid performance come true by scoring the winning goal just after the hour mark.

The contrast is striking if we compare with his previous match, at the Orange Vélodrome, against Paris Saint-Germain. During this “Classic”, the former Manchester United player had completely lost interest in the game. Roberto De Zerbi ended up taking him out at half-time, which he could have done well before.

Greenwood “hid” against PSG

According to Daniel Riolo, Mason Greenwood is not exploiting his full potential. “You have to be blind not to see that Greenwood, when he touches the ball, has international class. He has something that is well above average. On the controls, the strikes, the way he shifts, all that. But the guy doesn't do enough on the pitch. He can't do so little. Sometimes it's laziness. This guy, he has a level that we don’t see in Ligue 1, except among the PSG players and one or two in Monaco”judged the sports journalist on the airwaves of
RMC.

Roberto DeZerbi expects better from his star player in important matches. “I was surprised by Greenwood last week because he didn't play well, confided the Italian technician after the victory for the Canaries. He was far from his standards. In this match, I was not surprised by Greenwood. Above all, he's a great guy. He is very committed and always gives everything he has. He is a very strong player who makes the difference for OM. »
