Marseille head coach Roberto De Zerbi appreciates that team striker Mason Greenwood is set to compete for the most prestigious individual award in world football - the Ballon d'Or.

The Italian footballer spoke about this at the press conference ahead of the Ligue 1 match against Monaco.

" I don’t see many gravels of this caliber in Europe. For me, I have the potential to win the Ballon d'Or. You just need to lie down if you want to earn everything you can so that you can really fight for the Golden Ball. “If I look at his natural talent, he has such potential,” ESPN quoted the coach as saying..

At the moment, the coach does not welcome, which sees the English forward as having greater stability and contributing to the team game without the ball.

" Ale, I’m not asking you to work on running 100 meters back. I myself was a “ten”, and not a ruler of the henchman - I am ceremonious. Proteins may be more intensely prestressed. If the team is under pressure, you can better trim the ball, eliminate the offensive player and help the team get out of the pressure,” added De Zerbi.

The great mentor of the Donetsk Shakhtar guessed one of the brightest moments of the Greenwood family:.

“If I scored a goal in the match against Union Saint-Gilloise - dribbling like Drogba, and a shot that easily beat a goalkeeper two meters tall - I was just busy. .

Mason Greenwood, having reached Marseille in the 2024 edition, is now demonstrating high performance. During this 24-year period, the Englishman played 56 matches in all tournaments, scoring 35 goals and providing 9 assists. He already has 13 goals this season, so he can be the leading offensive force of the team.
