After the rout of Olympique de Marseille in Nantes (3-0), the terrible score inflicted on Mason Greenwood by La Provence is causing a lot of talk.

Generally, when Mason Greenwood gets talked about in the English press, it’s not a good sign. The former Manchester United player is still resented by public opinion in his country, after the accusations of domestic violence to which he was the subject.

If the English press is interested in Greenwood, then, it is more easily to relay his setbacks than when he performs well. The proof with the place given to the 3-0 conceded by OM in Nantes, and to the terrible mark received by the ex-English international in the columns of La Provence.

Thus, the 0/10 inflicted on Greenwood greatly amuses the Daily Mail, which relays Provence’s comment away from the Olympian n°10: “We understand better why the enfant terrible of English football took a little trip to the bench at kick-off last Sunday. If the players wantonly draw the famous ‘professional misconduct’, Greenwood’s behavior this Saturday was indeed one.writes the regional daily.

The English press laughs at Greenwood’s setbacks

“Scandalous from one end of the meeting to the other, he thought it was good to walk after his countless ball losses, complain when his partners did not ask him, or think he was in the circus by attempting superfluous gestures, for his personal pleasure, while his club is playing part of its economic future. In other circumstances, he would have deserved half a point for having managed, at least, to tie his crampons. adds the scathing text of Provence.

What is notable is that the English media have a harder time highlighting the fact that all Marseille players had 0/10 after this match, and not just Greenwood, even if he was one of those who deserved it the most.
