Roberto De Zerbi launched a furious post-match tirade after Marseille collapsed to a stoppage-time defeat against Rennes in their Ligue 1 opener on Friday, despite playing with a one-man advantage. The Italian boss accused his players of having 'small balls' as tensions boiled over in the dressing room, with senior players caught up in in heated arguments.
Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi warned an in-demand Mason Greenwood that while leaving the French giants might be simple, finding a club that offers the same platform and passion could prove far harder. The English striker’s electric debut season in Ligue 1 has turned heads across Europe, but De Zerbi is making it clear, Marseille isn’t prepared to let its crown jewel walk out the door without a fight.
Roberto De Zerbi has explained his touchline clash with Unai Emery following Marseille's fiery 3-1 friendly win over Aston Villa. The tension boiled over after Mason Greenwood's bust-up with Tyrone Mings, with the OM boss revealing he 'didn't like' Emery complaining about his players.
Mason Greenwood extended his impressive run of form by adding another goal to his growing pre-season tally as Marseille secured a 1-1 draw with Spanish outfit Sevilla at the Stade Vélodrome. The 23-year-old forward found the net with a clever, stooping header after meeting a perfectly delivered cross from the left flank by Ulisses Garcia.
