Mason Greenwood delivered a recital in Nantes on Sunday. A performance which provokes as much excitement as frustration among observers, who expect more consistency from the OM attacker.
Top scorer for Olympique de Marseille with seven goals since the start of the season, Mason Greenwood is undoubtedly the X factor of Roberto De Zerbi's team. Brilliant in Nantes on Sunday, where he scored the winning goal in the second half, the English striker has nevertheless suffered from a certain form of irregularity since the start of the season. The English striker's last two matches illustrate this with a ghostly performance against PSG, where De Zerbi took him out at half-time, then this class match in Nantes. A paradox that Daniel Riolo highlighted on RMC.
The journalist sang the praises of Greenwood, who he considers a player “with international class gestures” but at the same time, he demands much more from the Marseille number 10, whom he now expects to be a regular player capable of taking the step into bigger matches. “Greenwood, what he does on Sunday in Nantes… The guy when he touches the ball, this guy, I said it at the start of the season and I was told that I had exaggerated and that I abused, but you have to be blind not to see that when he touches the ball, he has international class” the journalist first estimates before continuing.
“Sometimes it’s laziness”Riolo attend plus de Greenwood
“He has something that is well above average in terms of controls, strikes, the way he shifts, all that. But the guy doesn't do enough on the pitch, he can't do so little on the pitch. His match against PSG is unacceptable, sometimes it's laziness. While this guy has a level that we don’t see in Ligue 1 except at PSG” commented Daniel Riolo on RMC. In Marseille, we are well aware that it would be difficult to be second in Ligue 1 without Greenwood, but that should not eliminate any form of demand placed on a high-level element who can give even more . The After Foot journalist is convinced of this.
