Mason Greenwood was the target of a furious tirade from Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi following a 3-0 defeat to PSG, as revealed in a new behind-the-scenes documentary. The Italian manager’s emotional outburst has stunned fans and shed light on internal tensions at the club.
Mason Greenwood has found himself under the spotlight once again — but this time, not for his actions on the pitch. The English forward was at the center of a heated dressing room outburst from Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi, following the club’s humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in October.
The explosive moment was captured and revealed in the club’s newly released six-part documentary series chronicling De Zerbi’s first season in charge at the Stade Vélodrome. In the second episode, released this week on Marseille’s official YouTube channel, cameras rolled as tensions boiled over post-match.
Greenwood, who had been substituted at half-time in the Le Classique clash, was singled out by the manager in front of the entire squad and club chairman. De Zerbi, visibly emotional and frustrated, shouted:
Let me tell you in front of the chairman that I’ll become a different person. For me, football is social redemption. I have lost my family to football, Mason. Do you understand? I’m ready to lose it all. The chairman is a witness.
The clip has sparked wide reaction from fans and pundits alike, with many stunned by the raw nature of the confrontation and the intensity of De Zerbi’s message.
This isn’t the first time Greenwood has made headlines during his turbulent loan spell in Ligue 1. The former Manchester United forward, who joined Marseille in a controversial move, has reportedly clashed with team-mates and coaching staff throughout the season. A trailer for the same documentary hinted at another incident involving a bust-up between Greenwood and midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.
Marseille’s documentary project is offering rare behind-the-scenes access to life at one of France’s most passionate and volatile clubs — and Greenwood’s role within it appears increasingly dramatic.
While De Zerbi’s approach may raise eyebrows, it also underlines the pressure facing the Italian manager as he attempts to rebuild a fractured squad and restore Marseille’s competitive edge. The full series is set to air episode-by-episode over the coming weeks, with fans already anticipating further revelations about Greenwood’s spell in the south of France.
With the club’s campaign stuttering and public scrutiny mounting, all eyes will be on how both Greenwood and De Zerbi respond as the cameras, and the pressure – keep rolling.
