It's already hot in Marseille! Less than a week before the resumption of the championship, and this trip to Rennes, OM played a last electrical preparation match against Aston Villa (3-1).
In a meeting rich in events, the Phocaeans saw their recruit Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signing a decisive double in the second period (76th, 79th), while Mason Greenwood had opened the scoring in the 5th minute.
The English striker, courted by the Saudi club Al-Nassr, is definitely at the heart of the news at the moment. And on this match, we saw the best from him, and also the less good.
Mason Greenwood taken to task
Mason Greenwood was thus involved in a scuffle, after a blow given in the game to Amadou Onana. The Belgian did not like, and his teammate Tyrone Mings came to lend him a hand. The English defender seized Greenwood by the jersey … to the point of tearing it away.
In the process, an incalculable number of messages of support for Tyrone Mings were posted. And not only from Aston Villa supporters. It is a good part of England which celebrated the fact of seeing Mason Greenwood being reframed in this way.
It must be said that the former Manchester United player is
persona non grata in his country since his accusation of domestic violence. The complaint was quickly removed, and Mason Greenwood is still in a relationship with the one who was then the victim. But the general English public has not forgotten the videos and audios posted at the time.
So that's why Tyrone Mings is celebrated as a hero. And while his club will now cross the road to Villarreal, some are asking the Roc des Villans to take care of Thomas Partey, the ex-player of Arsenal, who is the subject of multiple accusations of sexual violence.
