Djibril Cissé has urged Mason Greenwood (23) to raise his level of consistency as Marseille prepare to face Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
_“The margin of progression for Greenwood is to be more consistent, to be much more influential and impactful in the game,”_ the former OM striker (37 goals between 2006 and 2008) told **[L’Équipe.](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/-il-destabilise-mais-il-faut-que-ce-soit-un-peu-plus-repete-les-anciennes-gloires-offensives-de-l-om-jugent-le-potentiel-de-mason-greenwood/1593825)** _“We’ve seen his extraordinary technical quality – he provokes, he dribbles left or right, he destabilises opponents. But it needs to be repeated more often.”_
Greenwood joined Marseille in 2024 after charges of attempted rape and assault brought against him in England were dropped in early 2023. His debut season in Ligue 1 saw him finish joint-top scorer with 21 goals, but doubts remained over his defensive work and influence in big matches. Former OM man Mamadou Niang stressed, “_Some great players can afford not to make the run, but not at OM_,” in the same interview with **L’Équipe.** Greenwood will likely start against Real Madrid on Tuesday before PSG visit the Vélodrome on Sunday.
