Politics and sports do not go together, that they should not be mixed. But they are always intertwined. Somewhere more, somewhere less. The French left did not like the fact that Marseille wanted to sign Mason Greenwood, they tried in every way to obstruct the already seen transfer and – failed!Marseille opposed the left, and Marseille won! And as of yesterday, they have a new no.10. The young lose English cannon – if he wasn’t the way he is, he’d probably be wearing an England national team kit in years past and would be dominating at Old Trafford – arrived in France’s craziest city and turned up the heat. Set it on fire.The Velodrome, however, welcomed Greenwood. It wasn’t Rome, nor Naples, nor Lyon, but Marseille. He went where they wanted him in the first place, where they had to deal with non-sports matters in order to get him.Nouveau joueur de l’Olympique de Marseille, Mason Greenwood s’est dit impatient de jouer au Vélodrome et sous les ordres de Roberto de Zerbi pic.twitter.com/BxKUYhGNAA— BFM Marseille Provence (@BFMMarseille) July 19, 2024 The fans gave a welcome to the English winger, a guy with devastating shot power and technique. Both left and right, he hits equally well with both feet. At least that was the case in Manchester United, from where he arrived in Marseille for 26,000,000 euros and a gigantic percentage of the subsequent sale. The estimate is that it will be between 40 and 50 percent, that’s how much the French club has committed to.Beware, the Black Panther is here!One detail is still unknown – the duration of the signed contract. But, what is most important for the fans of the French team, who welcomed him as soon as he landed and later approached the club premises, he signed. He committed himself to cooperation, no matter how long it is. And if he is at the level he was at Getafe, where he rehabilitated his career, he will be a serious asset to the former Champions League winners. And, if he plays like he did in Manchester United…He could make ‘hell’ for the defenders he faces in the French Ligue 1. And, the club from the Velodrome could finally be a real threat to Paris Saint-Germain, because they hired several interesting players. In addition to Greenwood, summer acquisitions include Ismaël Koné (€12,000,000, Watford) and Bamo Meïté (€10,500,000, Lorient). All three are 22 years old, the team is young, and Roberto de Zerbi likes to work with youth.##NAJAVA_MECA_8223701##The only big minus compared to the previous season is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s departure. Making up for 30 goals will not be easy at all. Mason Greenwood will have to start contributing right away, and Marseille’s management will have to sign the striker ASAP.There will be positive vibes flowing through the summer in a city where the French left suffered defeat, futilely opposed the signing of Mason Greenwood and aired their dirty laundry in the hope that the fan reaction would be such to drive him away from the Velodrome.📂 Mercato_2425👤 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 🔟📸 Les Goudes🗓️ 18/07/24🔵⚪️ #GreenwoodEstOlympien pic.twitter.com/8ntkEMFuOH— Olympique de Marseille (@OM_Officiel) July 18, 2024
