Mason Greenwood seems to have crossed a new level with the Olympique de Marseille, impressive during the pre-season and now displaying a remarkable physical and technical form. Walid Acherchour believes that he is ready to meet expectations, stressing his return in great physical and athletic form. His brilliant performance in the preparation match against Girona was particularly noticeable, demonstrating undeniable superiority on the ground. This progression marks a break with the doubts surrounding him during his first season in Ligue 1, where he sometimes lacked regularity and maturity, despite his efficiency against the less strong teams.

For Acherchour, the real test for Greenwood is now with OM participating in the Champions League. He will have to prove his ability to perform against the big clubs, an aspect where he sometimes disappointed the previous season. The journalist insists on the importance of this second season, not only for Greenwood but also for the evolution of Roberto De Zerbi’s project. He hopes he matured and understood the coach’s philosophy, after a less successful season in Getafe. Greenwood has a golden opportunity to assert itself, and a successful performance in the Champions League could be a turning point for the club.

At the same time, the young Brazilian attacker Wallace Yan, operating in Flamengo, also arouses the interest of OM. Although still in the training phase, he impresses with his speed, percussion and ability to create differences as soon as he enters the game. A versatile and promising, he has already demonstrated his confidence in his club, which recently strengthened its liberating clause to EUR 60 million. Despite a still light template, it has explosive potential and has been regularly titularized, even in major games. However, it will have to gain in physical power to win in Europe, and its lack of experience could be a brake on a club like OM, although its qualities and potential are undeniable.
