Roberto De Zerbi sent strong message about Mason Greenwood’s best position at Marseille as Ligue side push for Champions League qualification

<p>Greenwood delivered another stellar performance for Marseille, reinforcing his growing influence in Ligue 1 with a goal (<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/roberto-de-zerbi-mason-greenwood-backhanded-compliment-ex-man-utd-forward-marseille-win-brest/blt12d99ee9d14d1982" target="_blank">although it has since gone down as an own goal</a>) and an assist during their recent clash against Brest. After a brief spell on the bench following concerns around his attitude, he seems to have returned to De Zerbi’s good books, and his recent display offered plenty of reasons why.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Marseille lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Brest, with Greenwood deployed in a wide position that appears to suit his strengths. And Marseille captain Valentin Rongier believes the forward will thrive in his new role. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an interview with <a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/clubs/olympique-marseille/stage-de-l-om-a-rome-objectif-ligue-des-champions-changement-de-systeme-l-entretien-rmc-sport-avec-valentin-rongier-en-integralite_AV-202505010472.html" target="_blank"><em>RMC Sport, </em></a>Rongier said: "Changing things up puts everyone back in alert mode. And also putting Luis (Henrique) and Mason (Greenwood) in their preferred position. Because Mason loves to be there, even when he played a little bit as a false nine, as a ten, he likes to go out to the wing. I think it's also good for our attacking assets."</p>

WHAT RONGIER SAID

<p>Marseille currently hold second place in the Ligue 1 standings, keeping them firmly in contention for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. They will be back in action next against Lille on Sunday in Ligue 1.</p>
