Why De Zerbi Made Greenwood a Sideline Spectator…
Mason Greenwood’s rollercoaster football journey continues! This time, it’s at Marseille where manager Roberto De Zerbi has taken a firm but funny stand on the tempest in a teacup about the young forward. The former Manchester United talent skipped over to sunny Provence, leaving behind Old Trafford dramas, and quickly made himself a fan favorite with 16 goals and three assists. But recently, Greenwood found himself warming the bench, causing the rumor mill to go into overdrive.
De Zerbi took the comedic route to unveil the mystery, tackling reporters’ attempts to whip up a storm in a teacup. According to the manager, Greenwood has been juggling a newborn, a marathon season, and getting used to being Mr. Main Event! The result? A slight dip in training mojo. Quipping in his suave Italian style, De Zerbi confessed to loving Greenwood and even his dad but admits the player wasn’t quite hitting the training targets. Apparently, Daddy Daycare may not mix well with running Marion’s pitch!
In the grand scheme of things, De Zerbi assures us it’s all about a minor speed bump on the highway to creating a squad of football superheroes. Meanwhile, Greenwood dreams of long-term thrills in France, eyeing down those Champions League nights. Could Pogba be his knight in shining armor? Unfortunately, Marseille’s president says, “Non, merci!” as the Greenwood-Pogba bromance remains a fantasy. For now, Greenwood’s focus is keeping pace in Ligue 1, much like his brisk diaper changes!
