Football Uniform Number Meaning

Football uniform number meaning

No.1: The number of the goalkeeper. In almost all official matches, the goalkeeper will wear the number 1 shirt. Today's famous goal-gods Iker Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon, Neuer, including the current younger generation of David de Gea, Jurgen Terstegen, Courtois and so on, are choosing the number one shirt.

No.2: The number of right-backs. Typical examples include Brazilian striker Cafu, who wears the legendary No. 2 shirt for both club and country, as well as Manchester United right-back Gary Neville and Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.

No.3: Left-back's number, although in Europe and South America it's a little different. In Europe, a lot of teams' No. 3 is a left-back, most notably Paolo Maldini. In European tradition, the number three is the left back and the number two is the right back. And in South America, the number six is the authentic left back, such as the Brazilian Carlos, used to wear the number three in Real Madrid, but back to the national team, still have to wear the number six, because South America is the number six left back, the number three is generally a center back.

No.4: According to tradition, No. 4 is worn by players like sweeper, usually in front of the small box behind the back line, and usually do rough work, hard work and dirty work on the pitch. Therefore, No. 4 represents bravery and is the iron man on the pitch, and usually No. 4 players can also be captain, such as Inter captain Javier Zanetti.

No.5: Usually the number chosen by a central defender, such as England defensive stalwart Rio Ferdinand. If No. 4 defends with your body, No. 5 defends with your brain. The most famous No. 5 belongs to Franz Beckenbauer. There are exceptions. Zidane also chose the number 5 shirt in honor of Manuel Sanchez after joining Real Madrid because that was Sanchez's number.

No.6: This number also started out as a defensive player, such as Italy and AC Milan legend Franco Baresi and England captain John Terry. But there are also midfielders who prefer the number, such as Argentinian superstar Fernando Redondo and Barcelona and Spain midfield soul Xavi. Although the No6 is mostly worn by defensive players, the position is starting to move forward and the role is not just defensive.

No.7: The number of the right midfielder/right winger, sometimes used as a striker, has always been the number of the "soul of the team" at Manchester United, George Best, Cantona, Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc. In Real Madrid No. 7 from Raul after become hot, can be said to be synonymous with the Prince of the Bernabeu, now the team leader C Ronaldo is also choose No. 7. In addition to these, there are more famous such as Shevchenko, Luis Figo and so on.

No.8: This is a classic central midfield/attacking midfield number, the second key player on the pitch after number 10, more involved in the organisation and coordination, is the real engine of the midfield, the most classic of course Dutch "black swan" Rijkaard, England's bad boy Gascoigne, Barca's central forward wizard "little white" Iniesta, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are also No.8 at the club.

No.9: The number of the striker is stamped in the centre, the representative of the striker. There are too many classic players in No.9, Van Basten, Batistuta, Ronaldo, Inzaghi, Torres... It can be said that the number nine represents the main striker of the team, as a striker no one is not willing to wear the number nine.

No.10: The number one player in the team, usually a number 10 in the front waist, is the engine of the team's midfield. Since Pele, the number has been a star star, Zico, Platini, Maradona, Gullit, Totti, Messi... Too many classic No10s to ever forget.

No.11: The number of a left midfielder/left winger, sometimes and often used on forwards. The number 11 player is a surprise player, usually a quick player. The classic No11 is Romario, Overmars, Arjen Robben and Ryan Giggs, all of whom love to overwhelm defenders with skill and pace.

No.12: This is an awkward number. Just outside the eleven, the number 12 was almost extinct in European leagues where players used to wear the number 1 through 11 in order. Only look for it in the national team: Van Basten was an instant hit at Euro 88 wearing the number 12 shirt, but he has since become an authentic number nine. The only other memory is of the 1990 World Cup, when Argentina's talented goalkeeper Goyechea also wore No. 12, but he was a shooting star.

No.13: Thirteen is an unlucky number in the West, but it has a lot of stars. The most famous player in my memory is Germany's "Bomber" Gerd Mueller, who still holds the World Cup scoring record (14 goals in two World Cups) and was the man of the year. Eusebio is also said to have worn number 13, but is too old to have seen it. The most famous number 13, of course, is Nesta, who has vowed to wear it until retirement.

No.14: Cruyff wears No. 14 famous, No. 14 is immortalized by Cruyff. Cruyff's number 14 was a fluke (he played professionally at 14), otherwise no superstar would fill the void. His son, little Cruyff, tried to copy it, but the tiger father also had sons, and there was only one real Cruyff. Chloe should know that to be a giant, you can't follow the same path as everyone else.

No.15: Roberto Baggio was Italy's No. 15 at the 1990 World Cup. But he never wore the number again. He belonged to number 10. The No. 15 shirt soaked in Baggio's sweat may be out of print.

No.16: The only person to remember this number is probably Manchester United's Keane.

No.17: Trezeguet has been Serie A's top scorer in number 17, but can't think of any other number 17. Instead, Italy's so-called curse of number 17 has been found: the team has had its share of bad luck in major tournaments, with Roberto Donadoni missing the penalty kick that knocked them out of the 1990 World Cup semi-final against Argentina. Zambrotta turned two yellowed and one red in the first half of the Euro 2000 semi-final against the Netherlands, before the Italians were saved by Santo. In the 2002 World Cup quarterfinal against South Korea, the 17th Tomasi scored a golden goal in extra time, but the referee misjudged it for offside and Italy were disqualified.

No.18: Belongs only to forever Jurgen. Klinsmann, the indelible golden bomber of memory.

No.19 Schillaci may have been partly to blame for his rise to top scorer at the 1990 World Cup. Who would have thought about the back-stabbing of No. 19 when defenders were watching No. 9 and 10? Yorke also wore the number 19 shirt at Manchester United and Hernan Crespo Argentina.

No.20: Golden Boy Paul Rossi of '82 supported # 20 on his own. Italy have this tradition, the number arrangement is different from other teams, resulting in the strikers wearing a larger number after 18, the 90 and 82 World Cup 19 and 20 top scorer. Other notable names are Germany's Birchhoff and Owen in the '98 World Cup.

No.21: This is a very ordinary number, often considered to be the team bench, but it is worn by my favorite football player, Christian Vieri. Vieri, who has scored nine goals in nine World Cup appearances for Italy, is a natural centre-forward. Such a striker wears 21 for no particular reason. I can only curse the way Italy's numbers are put together.

No.22: Usually used as a backup goalkeeper, Buffon made his mark against Russia. By the way, number 22 is probably best known as Kaka, but sooner or later he will have to wear number 10, at least at Milan.

No.23: Since this number was added to the 2002 World Cup, it is very variable, and every country has different arrangements for the number 23.

No.24: The Argentine Football Association has sealed No. 10 for Maradona, and FIFA has granted Argentina No. 24, so the world has the only World Cup No. 24, and he is Argentina's backup goalkeeper, Bonano, who seems to be more precious than any number.
