After the heavy defeat of Olympique de Marseille against Auxerre (0-3) last Saturday in Ligue 1,
Roberto de Zerbi did not hesitate to send a clear message to Mason Greenwoodexhorting it to more regularity. The English striker, who represents the main offensive threat of OM this season with 15 goals and 3 assists in 25 appearances, has indeed completely missed his match.
Asked about the subject at a press conference this Saturday, Geoffrey Kondogbia wanted to recall the importance of the former Red Devil within the Marseille collective. The Central African midfielder, mainly aligned in central defense this season, said that expectations around Greenwood were proportional to his talent.
“Talking about him proves that we need his qualities”
“I think that to be the key player during a full season, there are very few today in football”judged the native of Seine and Marne. “During a season, it is normal that we can go through a little more difficult moments, even if I think honestly, that it is not his case. We are demanding with creative players, instinct players. I think he is a player who has a lot of talent. »»
“He's an instinct player. He is creative, therefore, of course, we need him. And talking about him proves that we need his qualities. How do I see it? I see it very calm. He is very quiet. I think it is already calm in nature and it is positive for us. I am convinced that he will continue to help us until the end of the season and I have no doubt about it ”concluded Kondogbia.
