Marseille is set to release a six-part documentary that promises to reveal some fiery behind-the-scenes moments from the 2024-25 season. The series will include footage of a training ground bust-up between Mason Greenwood and team-mate Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, among other dramatic incidents.
The upcoming documentary, which will be spread across six episodes, offers an unprecedented look into life at the Ligue 1 side under manager Roberto De Zerbi. The premiere is set for this Saturday and has already sparked interest with its trailer featuring raw and uncensored content.
One of the key highlights of the trailer was footage revolving around a training ground altercation between Greenwood and midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. This incident hints at the level of tension within the squad during what was a tumultuous season.
Greenwood's attitude throughout this period came under scrutiny as he found himself benched for several games by De Zerbi. There were even rumours about his involvement in player mutiny against their Italian coach following a disappointing 3-1 loss to Reims.
Dressing room drama
The documentary also captures several heated exchanges in the dressing room. Adrien Rabiot can be heard expressing his dissatisfaction over lacklustre warm-ups: "We had a sh*tty warm-up... On the pitch, different energy guys."
Hojbjerg also vents out his frustrations: "We're talking, we're talking... Stop! Stop! 3-0! One guy down."
Despite these controversies, it's worth noting that Greenwood had an impressive debut season with Stade Velodrome. He scored 21 goals in 34 games, finishing as the joint-top scorer of Ligue 1 alongside PSG striker Ousmane Dembele. Greenwood also broke Didier Drogba's record of scoring 19 league goals in his debut season at Marseille and surpassed Bafetimbi Gomis' all-time record of 20 goals. His significant contributions were instrumental in Les Phoceens securing a spot in the Champions League.
The upcoming documentary promises to provide an intriguing insight into the highs and lows of Marseille’s eventful season. It will be particularly interesting for sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts who want to understand the dynamics within a top-flight football team during a challenging period. The series is sure to offer an unfiltered look at how player relationships, managerial decisions, and on-field performances shape a season.
