Ever since his move to Marseille in the summer, Mason Greenwood has been making a name for himself in the French football scene. However, his recent performance in Marseille's 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain was met with criticism from coach Roberto De Zerbi.
Despite his bright start to the season, the 23-year-old striker was replaced at half time as Marseille struggled to keep up with PSG's dominance. When questioned about his decision, De Zerbi expressed his disappointment with Greenwood's performance that night, stating that he "didn't like the way he played."
De Zerbi acknowledged Greenwood's contributions so far, with six goals in nine Ligue 1 appearances, but reminded him that at a club like Marseille, every match counts if they want to compete for the championship. The coach also added that he holds high expectations for all his players, not just Greenwood.
The defeat against PSG left Marseille in third place in the Ligue 1 standings, trailing the leaders by six points. The match saw PSG take an early lead through Joao Neves, followed by a red card for Marseille's Amine Harit. Leonardo Balerdi's own goal and Bradley Barcola's strike before half time sealed the win for PSG.
Despite this setback, Greenwood has been hailed as one of the top players in the French league and has already scored six goals for Marseille. His move from Manchester United for a potential fee of €31.6 million has proven to be a successful one so far.
