Greenwood Can Become One Of The Best Players In The World – Roberto De Zerbi

Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi has said that Mason Greenwood can score more goals. He recently had his say after the English forward put in a four-goal performance for the club in their 6-2 mauling of Le Havre.

According to him, Greenwood has always had the potential to be one of the best players in the world, and he only needs to improve when it comes to being a team player.

De Zerbi added that despite never missing any training session as a Marseille player, Mason still has room for improvement.

His words, “It’s true that Mason can do more, not just in terms of goals scored because in that area he doesn’t need to do better. He’s already a top player in front of goal, but he can become one of the best players in the world, because he has the ability.

He can improve in helping the team when it needs it, when it’s necessary. But I want to protect Mason from criticism, he’s always scored a lot of goals and never missed a training session. But he still has room for improvement.

All the credit goes to his mother and father. And I’m here to help him become more complete. When he needs a hug, a word of support, I gladly give it. And when I need to push him to give more, I have to do that too because that’s my job.

I would especially like to help him be remembered, in this stadium and by these supporters, as one of the greatest players to have played here at the Velodrome. There have been so many great players here, but I think Greenwood has the qualities to be remembered that way. And I’m trying to help him progress

“If he wants to become a great player, he must run off the ball. I saw Mbappe, I saw Dembele pressing without the ball, and Greenwood has to do it too. He has worked on pressing, but not always. When he wants to, he does it, and he must understand that this effort is what separates the greats.”

WOW.
