That’s why I recommend you read my article: How did Soccer Originate? History of the Game. I didn’t like history at school, but I do love the history of soccer because it helps me understand many of the things that happen in soccer today. Some of the best players in history and from today that wear number 10 were: Rivaldo, Juan Roman Riquelme, Michelle Platini, Ronaldinho, Wayne Rooney, Cruyff, Ferenk Puskas, Zinedine Zidane, Alessandro Del Piero, Totti, Sergio “Kun” Aguero, Neymar Jr, Phillipe Coutinho, Roberto Baggio, and I’m surely forgetting about many. This is the main reason why I say it’s a domino effect. So, as you can see, most players that wear number 10 today use this number because they have someone that played before them that they admire a lot. However, years later when Ronaldinho left the team he was then given the number 10 because was called to be the next superstar of the team just as Ronaldinho was. When these kids grow older they will most likely choose to wear number 10 because it is the same number their idol used.īut, why Messi wore number 10? He actually didn’t start using number 10, when he first started to play at Barcelona’s first team he used number 30. He is probably the idol of most little kids that are starting to play soccer. Just imagine how many people Messi is seen as an idol. Take as an example probably the best player right now and one of the best in history: Lionel Messi.
