Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

Against retiring no.10 wherever or any number. The no.10 itself is the most iconic in football as worn by Pele, Maradona, Platini, Zidane (for France), Ronaldinho and many more before and should serve as inspiration for future players. Legacy, continuation.

Dont forget Dembele at PSG 🐮

Not in the discussion at all. Neymar was no.10 at PSG and Brazil as well for being the most iconic among his peers, but never proved any playmaking abilities.

You know what I'm talking about. You being Portuguese you must be well aware Rui Costa was the boss of the field, not Figo of 00s.

Ok i was joking with dembele but Neymar is one of the best players of this generation and even though he won only 1 cl he belongs to the tier 2 of the greatest no.10 of all time IMO.

I like you respect Rui Costa, for me he was one of the most underrated players ever, guy was pure talent and is one of the playmakers ever. Also you knew it will be dangerous when he shoots from outside the box

No.10 is associated with the most influential players on the field. The guy who read the plays, dictates the tempo and controls the ball. Neymar and Hazard wore that number, but they were both great explosive wingers. I can give another example with Netherlands of 2010 where Arjen Robben was the most dangerous player, but without Wesley Sneijder running things, none of it would have happened.

I have to say he needs more rest or accept the bench role for Portugal but even Martinez said a few days ago that Ronaldo will play in starting eleven so it will be a difficult situation meow.

Bloke should rest by retiring

Ah ok i understood your post wrong, agree with you

Even though i think Portugal would play better without him as he became too slow i dont want him to retire, a player who i follow since 2006, damn i would cry like a little kid 😭

Don't worry, you survived 100+ years without watching CR7, you'll survive another 100+ years

but these 17 years were the best of my life

I feel Messi and Ronaldo will retire to the same time, after WC 2026...

Whoever wears no.10 for Argentina in the future is going to have the weight of two of football's holy trinity on their shoulders

Crushing pressure.

Thinking about it, after Messi stops playing for the national team, I would give the number 10 shirt to Dybala who can wear it for a few years before being passed on to either Echeverri or Soule (Echeverri seems like the likelier candidate based on potential)

Dybala has the experience, maturity and the quality to do the number 10 justice and Echeverri and Soule are too young and inexperienced to don the pressure imo.
