Exiled from England due to allegations of sexual assault, Mason Greenwood was celebrated at Getafe as a masterful player—a talent that, by sheer chance, ended up in the Spanish club. Just when it seemed Greenwood might revive his football career fully with Marseille, the Olympique derby against Paris Saint-Germain cemented Europe’s stance: he may not be a player for the highest levels. Of course, it wasn’t only his fault—the blame is never solely on one player in a 0-3 loss. But Greenwood was singled out as the worst on the field, a view apparently shared by Roberto De Zerbi, who subbed him off at halftime.When the referee destroys the biggest French derby…Respected outlets like L’Équipe and local La Provence ‘poured salt‘ into Greenwood’s wound, “rewarding” him with the lowest possible rating for his performance in the major French derby“De Zerbi waited until halftime to take him off, and even that was too long, as his contribution bordered with disrespect. When he doesn’t have the ball at his feet, he seems uninterested in everything else. His casual jog before the first goal and especially the terrible pass before the third goal were outright fiascos” wrote L‘Equipe.🚨 Mason Greenwood was given a 1/10 rating by @lequipe for his abysmal performance against PSG last night.. 😱 pic.twitter.com/ojWk33ktFC— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) October 28, 2024 La Provence was no kinder to the 23-year-old:“Everyone, including PSG’s coach Luis Enrique, knows Greenwood hates playing defense. He proved it yet again in the sixth minute when he watched Nuno Mendes make a run from behind for João Neves’ opening goal. Such passivity is close to intentional negligence. And before the third goal, he gifted a soft pass straight to the opponent”. Additionally, he failed to track back during PSG’s final attack—had he done so, Bradley Barcola might not have scored the third goal. But as the French media noted, Greenwood clearly lacks enthusiasm for defense. Not even his six goals and two assists in nine games can mask that deficiency.##NAJAVA_MECA_8453564##
