Greenwood & Bentia at OM: Marseille Dilemma

A debacle in Bruges, an elimination in the Champions League, and off we go for a succession of revelations and other rumors from the corridors. Welcome to Olympique de Marseille, where nothing has been rosy this week.

In a long article published this Friday, The Team reveals that director of football Medhi Benatia and Mason Greenwood are no longer really friends. The two men would avoid each other at the Commanderie and would no longer speak to each other, assures the daily. Everyone in their own corner, like at school.

A bickering dating back to last summer?

As well as ignoring the 24-year-old, the former defender would often be the first to criticize the Englishman, both for his mistakes on the pitch and his behavior off it.

Still according to information from The TeamBenatia would have been particularly annoyed that Greenwood had not respected a « commercial obligation » last summer, without worrying about the consequences. But the tensions are not limited to the Benatia – Greenwood duo: at the beginning of January, the football director also had a clash with Leonardo Balerdi in the locker room.

Everything comes together to see OM string together five victories.
