The Olympique de Marseille suffered a bitter defeat against AS Monaco, falling heavily on the score of 3 to 4. This meeting, counting on the twenty-ninth day of Ligue 1, highlighted the persistent difficulties of the Phocรฉan team, highlighting a lack of defensive strength and an inability to respond to the intensity of the Monegasque game. Despite having a significant ball at the beginning of the game, OM was overwhelmed by the effectiveness of its opponents, confirming a deep malaise and endangering the club’s European ambitions.
Mason Greenwood’s performance, aligned to his usual position on the right wing, was particularly disappointing. Although he tried some offensive actions, his statistical record is alarming: 18 ball losses, no winning duel and zero dribble successful. This performance is part of a negative trend observed since several encounters, suggesting a loss of confidence and a decrease in its impact on the game. The media, in unison, emphasized his lack of investment and his inability to be decisive, evoking frustrating dilettantism for a player of his calibre.
The ratings given by the press reflect the general dismay. La Provence awarded him a severe score of 1/10, while Maxifoot and FootMercato were slightly more lenient, granting him a score of 3/10, respectively. These assessments are consistent with the fact that the English striker was unable to capitalize on the opportunities he had, repeatedly colliding with the Monegasque guard and suggesting a form of disengagement that worries Marseille supporters.
