Why are Nigerians so obsessed with the No 10 ? There seems to be an unreasonable expectation with that jersey. People think whoever wears it is supposed to dribble the opponent and score 3 goals a game. Unfortunately, the old style No 10 has been married it in the rubbish bin by modern tactics. Your No 10 is now your tactics.
OCCUPY NFF!!

Its not just Nigerians haba!

"10" is one of the most emblematic squad numbers in football, due to the sheer number of football legends that used the number 10 shirt; playmakers, second strikers and attacking midfielders usually wear this number.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squad_num ... _football)
Why So Many Of The World's Greatest Soccer Players Wear #10
Lionel Messi wears no. 10.
Neymar wears no. 10.
Wayne Rooney wears no. 10.
Part of the reasoning for the popularity of the no. 10 goes back to Diego Maradona and Pelé, two of the greatest players that ever lived. They both wore no. 10, so it would be a natural extension for many of today's best players to choose that number.

But there is actually more to it than that and it starts with why both Maradona and Pelé wore the greatest of football numbers.

Btw, the #10 shirt remains a valued football commodity. Nigeria is not an exception.

Chelsea gave it to Willian so maybe it isn't that important.

Chelsea defines football? How about many that value it? Brazil, Argentina, etc? Law of small numbers (????) as opposed to law of large numbers.

Brazil gave it to him too! Even Dani Alves is wearing it for São Paulo. If we gave it to Mikel for over 10 years, I don't see why Jamilu Collins can't be in the reckoning.

Anyone posting Nwakali's name in a chat about 2019/20 SE will be invited to undergo a basic football knowledge test before they make another post.

They will also need to attain a score of 55% - a low benchmark if we are honest :tic:

Thank you bro! I will take it also. It means we will both have to compete for the Shirt.
