Historically, the number 10 behind that meant being the star of the team. players want Michel Platini, Pelé or Diego Armando Maradona They elevated this number to the mythical category. And the passage of years seems to preserve something about it magic. The 2022 World Cup has reserved this number, in many cases, for some of the footballers who have been called to be protagonists on the date.
Undoubtedly, the most emblematic is Leo Messiwho will wear Argentina’s 10 alongside the captain’s armband in search of what will be his first world champion crown and the icing on the cake of an unparalleled record and career.
In Brazil, one of the other great candidates for final success, the mythical 10 will be worn by a teammate of Messi’s at PSG, who is also a former Barcelona player Neymar Jr. And if France closes, according to many, the shortlist of powers with a real choice for ‘champion’, the 10 of the ‘bleu’ also holds his real crack, the (also) PSG player Kylian Mbappe.
The other players who will carry 10 on their back is the Danish Christian Eriksen, literally ‘resurrected’ after the heart attack he suffered in the last Eurocup and brought him to the limit (if not beyond) death on the pitch. Also Sadio Manethe great star of Senegal and whose World Cup contest was up in the air almost until the last moment, will help to increase the legend of this number.
And as in Real Madrid, Luka Modric He is also the 10th of his national team, with Croatia having arrived in Qatar as the current runner-up and dreaming, perhaps with more emotional charge than real options, with planting or improving on the successes that this. The one in Spain is reserved for another Real Madrid player, Marco Asensiowhere this is his eleventh chance to show that the football he wears in his boots makes him worthy of a historic and magical number.
