The World Cup There is a great connection between football and the number 10 shirt. The history of football cannot be completed without the number 10. The number 10 is known as a legendary number of all ages. The magic number held by every team’s stars for ages. The students of each house choose the magic hat in Harry Potter. Likewise, the number 10 shirt may choose the legends themselves.
When talking about the number 10, who else but Pele comes to mind? The Brazilian legend wore the number 10 shirt. He gave the Canaries three world titles in that shirt. Pele is the only player to win three World Cups. Diego Maradona brought Argentina to the top of the world for the second time. The heroics of the short man at number 10 led Argentina to the title in 1986. He did not just conquer the hearts of the Argentinians. It was his beautiful moments on the pitch that created fans for the Latin American nation all over the world. The world hailed him as a football god who made a revolution on and off the field.
Zinedine Zidane walked into the hearts of the French at number ten. In the 2006 World Cup final, Zidane was still wearing number 10 when he was sent off after headbutting Italy’s Matarazzi. In this World Cup too, shirt number 10 is written into World Cup history again.
Luka Modric made world cup history for the small country of Croatia. In 2018, Modric took Croatia to the final against the giants in Russia. By the time he lost to Argentina in the semi-final in Qatar, captain Luca had become a legend at number 10.
Neymar’s shirt number is also ten, who played for the Canaries every time he was on the field even though he was out in the quarters. Whenever Neymar is around, Brazilians expect success. That’s why the number 10 came after Pele to look for him. Fans are dreaming that Lionel Messi will take off his number 10 shirt after winning the World Cup. The number 10 will once again become part of history if Messi succeeds in completing his magic in football and once again crowns Argentina with the world crown.
