Mason Greenwood is illustrated as one of the most prolific players in Ligue 1 and Olympique de Marseille this season, with 15 goals and 3 assists in 24 games. After his disappointing performance during the heavy defeat against Auxerre (0-3) on February 22, the English striker returned to the net against Nantes (2-0) last Sunday by scoring the goal of the break.
Despite this flattering assessment, the former Manchester United player did not completely conquer his trainer, Roberto de Zerbi. This Thursday, during the press conference before the match against the RC Lens, the Italian technician urged Bradford's native to show more regularity, while recalling the esteem he has.
“It's something I don't like”
“We brought Greenwood close to the goal, with fewer defensive tasks. I wanted it here, he is the first player I called before I even signed at OM. No one has any esteem of him than me. But I still expect more from him, what he does is not enough for us ”confessed from Zerbi to the media.
For the former manager of Brighton, Greenwood must invest more if he wants to reach the highest level: “If he wants to succeed in maintaining his expectations as a champion, he must be more constant in the matches, that he sacrifices himself more, that he is more decisive. It must be regular in its impact but also its performance. Otherwise, we always fall back into the same scheme: a very good match, then a defeat in Auxerre, then a victory against Nantes … It's too irregular, they are waves. And that's something I don't like. »»
