Mason Greenwood continues to be talked about in England, where his image remains tarnished. The British have not forgotten the shocking images of the swollen face of his companion, Harriet Robson. A complaint was filed, but withdrawn a year later, and the investigation was closed in early 2023.

Despite this shadow, Roberto De Zerbi publicly defended his attacker yesterday afternoon. “I enter no one’s private life, not even that of my children. He’s a good guy, he paid very heavily for what happened. Very strong. He found the right environment for him, we reached out to him. He behaved well”launched the Italian.

“Who are we to judge? »

This Tuesday, Samir Nasri also defended Greenwood on the Canal+ set, before the match between OM and Newcastle. For the former midfielder, if the player’s wife forgave him, so should the public. “If she forgave him… who are we to judge? »he declared while one of the journalists from the encrypted channel raised the subject.

Nasri, however, clarified that his opinion would have been different if Greenwood had been found guilty by the English courts. “That’s why… If his wife has forgiven him, we can forgive him. If she hadn’t forgiven him and he had been found guilty and had this sentence in England, I would have said it was normal.”concluded the consultant.
