Greenwood was 'doused with cold water'

Mason Greenwood set a record that has not been reached in 34 years, but coach Roberto De Zerbi affirmed that the player has not reached the level of a big star.

Coach De Zerbi affirmed that Greenwood needs to try harder.

On October 19, Mason Greenwood scored 4 goals in Marseille's 6-2 win over Le Havre. He became the first player to reach this milestone in Ligue 1 since 1991. However, instead of absolute praise, coach Roberto De Zerbi was still frank in saying that his English student could do better.

"It's true that Greenwood is scoring a lot of goals and always training hard, but he can still go further," the Italian strategist said after the match. "If he wants to become a top player, Greenwood has to work hard even when he doesn't have the ball. I see Mbappe and Dembele pressing relentlessly. Greenwood needs to learn that too."

The match at the Velodrome saw Greenwood in his best form since moving to France. The former Manchester United striker not only helped Marseille win 3 points to move to the top of the table, but also made history by scoring 4 goals in a game. The legendary Jean-Pierre Papin was the last to do so 34 years ago.

With the poker, Greenwood also equaled Glenn Hoddle's record to become the English player with the most goals in Ligue 1 history (27 goals). In the last 10 matches, he has 7 goals and 4 assists in all competitions,

Greenwood joined Marseille for a fee of 23.3 million pounds, after the "Red Devils" decided to part ways under great pressure from public opinion and anti-domestic violence organizations.
