Roberto De Zerbi wants more from Mason Greenwood despite Champions League brace

Speaking at a press conference attended by Get French Football News following Olympique de Marseille’s 3-2 win over Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League, Roberto De Zerbi was quick to have a nuanced view on Mason Greenwood’s performance – after the Englishman scored a brace to get OM into a two-goal lead in Brussels on Tuesday evening.“Greenwood, he is a great player – but in my opinion he needs to keep the ball longer, and let us breath a bit more,” said De Zerbi at Lotto Park on Tuesday evening. “He needs to be more consistent, even in the defensive phase, at least to keep his position,” added the Italian coach. The 24 year-old distinguished himself in one of his best performances in the Champions League in a Marseille shirt on Tuesday evening, putting Les Phocéens ahead just before half-time with a burst of pace and a finish past Scherpen. Greenwood then put OM two goals ahead in the second half with a similar deadly run on the counter and a fine finish into the left corner.GFFN | George Boxall – Reporting from Brussels
