"He has the potential to win the Ballon d'Or. It will be up to him to decide whether he wants to do everything he can to fight for it or not. At the level of the qualities that nature has given him, that his parents have given him, I think he is worthy of the Ballon d'Or. I would like him to be more consistent. I know he needs to press with more intensity,"
"I would like him to be more consistent. I know he needs to press with more intensity, he needs to manage the ball better when the team is in trouble, not lose the ball easily but keep it to allow the team to move up because he has the ability to do it. I have to leave Marseille in a better situation than when I arrived. Greenwood must be better than the Greenwood I took at the beginning."
Mason Greenwood leads Ligue 1 scoring early in the 2025–26 season with 10 goals and three assists, helping Marseille sit third. He has scored three goals in six Champions League matches, including a two-goal performance in a 3–2 win over Union Saint-Gilloise. No player scored more than the 24-year-old in the French top flight last season, while Ousmane Dembélé scored 21. Greenwood is regarded as having the ability to reach the very top, but he needs greater consistency, stronger pressing intensity, and improved ball management in pressured moments.
