Still decisive and author of two goals during OM’s victory on Saturday evening in Toulouse (1-3), Mason Greenwood continues to deeply divide Marseille supporters.
“The controversy will not stop. (…) There will be a permanent unease all season with this player. » Journalist Dominique Sévérac was not mistaken when commenting on Mason Greenwood’s debut on August 17, when he scored twice with OM against Brest on the first day of Ligue 1. Recruited by Marseille this summer, the former Manchester United player was pushed out by his club under popular pressure, with supporters not forgiving him for the accusations of domestic violence he had been subjected to by his partner in January 2022. Although the latter dropped the charges against him, Greenwood is marked by this affair which is more divisive than ever at OM.
On Saturday night, the English nugget once again showed off his talent on the pitch. This time, it was in Toulouse that he delighted and scored another double that puts him more than ever in first place in the Ligue 1 scorers’ ranking (five goals, two more than Bradley Barcola, his closest rival). But on social media, opinions were extremely divided as to whether we should be happy about the player’s success. While the sale of jerseys bearing his name is booming, many are also those who can no longer celebrate when the Englishman scores for their club.
Conflicting feelings
Performance analyst notably seen several times on the channel The TeamKevin Nieto gave his opinion on the subject on Saturday evening: “ I think I must not like football enough, and yet it is my job, but then being able to appreciate Greenwood’s performances is beyond my strength. I would like to know how the OM supporters who were against his arrival deal with it, without judgment. »
An invitation that provoked many responses. So redemption forbidden?asked this Internet user. He was not convicted and ABOVE ALL, he pulled himself together, questioned himself and never reoffended. Second chances exist, and I think he took them. »
You are far from alone. It is very violent to see this malaise imposed on you in our Ligue 1 even as a simple observer. I thank the Olympian supporters who do not let themselves be drawn into this trap. @Nash_omf the best example seen at my level.

Well, I can’t handle it honestly. This feeling of seeing my team win thanks to their goals, I’m happy and disgusted at the same time, I really don’t know how to handle it. This feeling of schizophrenia is very strange

Others expressed their embarrassment. You are far from alone. It is very violent to see this malaise imposed on you in our league 1 even as a simple observer. » « Haven’t watched a match since he came. Impossible for me to ignore it. In short, it’s hard, yes. » « This feeling of seeing my team win thanks to his goals, I’m happy and disgusted at the same time, I really don’t know how to deal with it. »
