This summer, despite the extra-sporting controversies to which he is the subject, Olympique de Marseille jumped at the opportunity to recruit Mason Greenwood. Aware that he was making a huge coup from a sporting point of view, the Marseille club did not hesitate to drop nearly 30 million euros to dislodge him from Manchester United. Three months later, we can realize that the Englishman brings a lot to the field. Moreover, RMC Sport reminds us: Roberto De Zerbi is convinced that it is his number one offensive asset.
Reason why the Italian applies strict management towards him: encouraging him when necessary and knowing how to poke him when necessary. The former Mancunian’s first name is also the one that resonates most often and the one to which the staff pays the greatest attention. For “RDZ”, Greenwood’s potential is immense and he believes at times that he is relying on his achievements and who does not always make efforts for the collective, something he would have insisted on with his player during this international break .
Greenwood “pampered” by the staff and managers?
At the club, in any case, we are convinced that we made the right choice in recruiting him, that time will take its course and that we can only talk about his footballing performances. Everything has been done to ensure that the adaptation goes as smoothly as possible with a very close relationship built with the father of the Olympian striker. A person close to the locker room says that he doesn’t make waves in his private life: “He is an ultra homebody. He makes house, Commanderie; then Commanderie, house. At the training center, everyone agrees that he is a very polite and kind young man. And if he goes out, he’s never alone. He is always a little worried and vigilant.”
The media even tells us that OM would have discussed with opposing clubs so that its star would not be mishandled and heckled during travel. Close to the supporters, the 23-year-old winger is also close to many players in the locker room such as Amine Harit, Jonathan Rowe, Derek Cornelius, Ismaël Koné, Darryl Bakola and Jeffrey de Lange. From there to seeing him soon at a press conference: “This is logic and common sense. He had to be given time to acclimatize. The athlete must take the upper hand, that was and always will be the priority. But we must neither hide it nor overexpose it.” explains the club to the media. To be continued.
