Mason Greenwood got a harsh 0/10 rating from a newspaper after a really bad performance.
Mason Greenwood had a really poor game during Marseille’s 3-0 loss to Nantes, with many calling his performance “scandalous.” He, along with the rest of the team, was given a 0/10 rating.
Greenwood is expected to leave Marseille this summer, as big clubs like Juventus and Atletico Madrid are said to be interested in him. Marseille has been struggling lately, slipping to seventh place after winning just one of their last six Ligue 1 matches.
On Saturday, everyone thought Marseille would easily beat Nantes, who were near the bottom of the table. But they fell apart in the second half when Nantes scored three quick goals.
Marseille’s manager, Habib Beye, had to take off former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at halftime, dealing with many injuries on the team right now.
A French newspaper, La Provence, wasn’t kind about Marseille’s performance, giving the whole team a zero rating. They said that former Spurs midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg acted like a “kitten,” and midfielder Arthur Vermeeren showed a “bad attitude” during the game. Aubameyang was even noted for completing more passes for Nantes than his own teammates.
But Greenwood received the harshest criticism. The paper called his performance “scandalous,” though they joked he might have earned half a point just for tying his boots. This was a bit of a nod to the fact that he actually created most of Marseille’s attacks, taking six shots and hitting the target twice.
Still, he didn’t escape tough criticism. The paper said Greenwood acted like he was playing a “professional foul” all game—walking after losing the ball, complaining when teammates didn’t pass to him, and making showy gestures just for fun, even though the club’s future is at risk.
Greenwood hasn’t scored in his last six games for Marseille. He once led the Ligue 1 scoring race with 15 goals but has now been passed by Strasbourg’s Joaquin Panichelli, who has 16 goals, and Rennes’ Esteban Lepaul, who has 18.
