When people watch football matches, they will notice that the back of each football player's jersey is printed with an Arabic number, which is the jersey number, serving as an identifier for the player. For instance, when a substitution is needed, the assistant on the sidelines will hold up a sign to indicate which player is substituted by which player. However, along with the development history of football, there are still unknown meanings behind the jersey numbers. Let's explain them one by one for you below:
No. 1: A pillar reaching for the sky
The domineering German goalkeeper Kahn
Those wearing the No. 1 jersey are usually legendary goalkeepers. They all possess the ability to stand firm and the aura of dominance, alone holding up the last line of defense for their teams. Let's take a look at the most powerful goalkeepers in the history of football, from the retired Zoff, Schmeichel and Kahn, to the current players who once dominated the field like Buffon and Casillas, to the then-dominant Neuer and Ochoa, and even the promising Schmeichel Jr., all of them wore the No. 1 jersey. Whenever they stood in front of the goal, They are all writing about the magic of "Willing to mend the sky with one hand"!
No. 7: A synonym for genius and legend
Portuguese legend: Figo
The players in a team who dare to wear the No. 7 jersey are often those with extraordinary talent and legendary experiences. Bebeto, who formed the "dream forward line" with Romario and helped the Brazilian team lift the World Cup Trophy for the fourth time; Deschamps, the captain who led the French team to win the double championships of the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Championship; Shevchenko, who helped AC Milan win the league championship for the 16th time and is known as the "Ukrainian nuclear warhead"; Figo, the leading figure of Portugal's "golden generation" Argentine legend Caniggia, who has participated in the World Cup three times and is known as the "Son of the Wind", and others all prefer the No. 7 jersey.
No. 10: A symbol of honor and an embodiment of dignity
The football king Maradona
The player wearing the No. 10 jersey is the soul and core of a team. In most cases, he should be the hub of the team's midfield and the link between the front and back of the team. He is also the initiator and organizer of the attack, and a versatile warrior on the field who can both pass and shoot. For instance, the two world-renowned football Kings, Pele and Maradona, both wore the No. 10 jersey. In the history of football, famous figures like Platini, Zico and Baggio also wore the No. 10 jersey. This number can only be used by these talented and outstanding superstars. If a player with insufficient ability wears it, it will instead bring bad luck to himself! For instance, Owen of the England team once wore the No. 10 jersey but was forced to leave the field due to injury. Neuvier of the German team wore the No. 10 jersey and sat on the bench all the time. The renowned Ronaldinho lost his form after wearing the No. 10 jersey and retired early. It is precisely for this reason that Ronaldo, who is known as the "alien", only wears the No. 9 jersey.
