Mute for several weeks, Mason Greenwood found the net again on Sunday during the victory of Olympique de Marseille on the lawn of Le Havre (0-1). Author of the only goal of the match, the 24-year-old English striker gave Marseillais three valuable points in the race for Europe. When it was time to celebrate, Greenwood walked towards Habib Beye to high-five him, a gesture noticed after the numerous rumors of tensions that had appeared in recent days.
At the microphone of League 1+the former Manchester United player wanted to clarify things regarding his relationship with his coach. “It was important, you shouldn’t believe everything that comes out in the media, Habib is a good guy, I trust him and he trusts me”he explained.
Habib Beye gives his verdict
Very touched after the meeting, Habib Beye also reacted to his player’s gesture to the broadcaster. “There is nothing to explain… The image is beautiful because it is perhaps necessary on Mason’s part with everything that has been said… When I see the lies told about me and about some of my players, when I hear that I had a clash, that I stopped training because of Mason Greenwood, that’s what saddens me today in the profession, where nothing is verified anymore. It’s the race for bad information and lies”declared the Marseille technician.
The Olympian coach then insisted on the quality of his relationship with the English striker: “ It’s symbolic what Mason did, I thank him for that, he didn’t have to do it. He’s someone with whom I have a very, very good relationship, whom I respect enormously as a player. Tonight he gave himself, he is rewarded, the team is rewarded, and that is the most important thing. » At a press conference, Habib Beye also spoke at length about the supposed events of the week, denouncing a real media “relentlessness” against him.
