Olympique de Marseille and Mason Greenwood could hardly have dreamed of a better start. Away to Brest on Saturday, on the occasion of the 1era Ligue 1 matchday, the Phocéens pulled off a real success (1-5), led by Mason Greenwood in all the good moves and author of a double for his big debut in the Olympian jersey.

After the match, Roberto De Zerbi praised his 22-year-old English striker, before slipping in a little tackle to the media.

Mason Greenwood is just exceptional. He’s a great player and it shows. I’m happy to see him score to end all the controversy in the media.”declared the Italian technician.

Merlin on Greenwwod: “He’s a hard-hitting player, a classy player”

It is not certain, however, that this will be enough to put an end to the criticism. Indeed, it is not the player who is attacked, but the man who was accused by his partner in 2022 of domestic violence and sexual assault, photos and audio recordings in support.

Quentin Merlin was also won over by Mason Greenwood’s debut with OM. This is Mason Greenwood, you don’t have to try to understand it.said the former Nantes player. He is a hard-hitting player, a classy player, who likes to hurt the defense and who is efficient. We saw that today with two goals. But it’s not just him, there’s Luis who had a very good match with two goals. There’s Elye who scored, which is important. And especially Amine, who didn’t score but who had a very good match. We shouldn’t highlight just one player, but it’s certain that when we have players like that, it helps us.”
