This time, no one will take it away from it. Mason Greenwood scored his 19th goal of the season in Ligue 1 on Saturday. And this is the second time in a few weeks.
The English striker had marked against Brest (4-1), on April 27, on a distant strike. But this goal had been withdrawn to him, to be transformed into a CSC of Brendan Chardonnet, who had deviated an attempt that spun the frame. This time, in Le Havre (1-3), his left missile owes nothing to anyone.
This goal allowed OM to take a decisive step towards a qualification in the Champions League next season. And for Mason Greenwood, this achievement allows it to reach a fairly symbolic course.
Greenwood, a symbolic CAP
With 19 league goals, Mason Greenwood equals the total legend Didier Drogba during the 2003-2004 season. In Marseille, this is the kind of reference that tends to speak. The record, for a recruit, is held by Bafé Gomis, who had found the net 20 times when he arrived in 2016-2017. It could be equaled or beaten next Saturday during OM-Rennes.
Statistically, the Mason Greenwood season is a success. Collectively, OM will also have achieved its objectives. However, there remains a strange feeling around the former Manchester United player, who could do even better. He was not appointed for the title of best player in the championship, while he is the second top scorer in Ligue 1 behind Ousmane Dembélé.
“Greenwood can be both Fantomas and Superman, Observed Bixente Lizarazu this Sunday in Telefoot, commenting on the superb and decisive goal of English on Saturday evening. Talent, when he expresses it, is better. »» This was the case in Le Havre.
