"Italy didn't have 10 after Totti left", which was lamented by Gazzetta dello Sport, but the bad boy Cassano made a tough counterattack with the return of the king! In the history of the Azzurri, 10 is undoubtedly a number bearing glory and dreams. Legendary stars Mei Acha, Faccetti and Baggio all left the legend of 10. This issue brings you issue 10, the eighth largest in Italian history.

Mei Acha 1

As one of the greatest shooters in Italian history, Mei Acha led Italy to the top of the world twice in 1934 and 1938, from 1930 to 1939. During the period of 10, Mei Acha made 53 appearances for the Azzurri and scored 33 goals. His legendary career is also remembered by future generations. In fact, in the 1930s, there was no fixed number in world football, but it was adjusted according to the lineup of each game. Although Mei Acha didn't wear 10 jersey in every game, with his position and style, Mei Acha was naturally the greatest representative of early Italian football.

2. Faccetti

Don't be surprised, the great left-back Faccetti once wore the shirt 10 at the Italian European Cup in 1968. I'm afraid Italy is the only top team in the world that lets the defender wear the 10 jersey. Not to mention Facetti's great achievements. On the contrary, there is an episode about why Faccetti wears the jersey 10. It is said that at that time, Italy decided to choose the number of jerseys in alphabetical order of surnames. As a result, Faccetti became a rare defender in history. In that European Cup, Faccetti not only helped Italy win the championship, but also became the best player himself, living up to the reputation of 10.

3. Rivera

The first golden boy in Italian history, the flag of Italy in the 1960s and 1970s, is also one of the greatest stars in the history of AC Milan. Van Basten said: "I am just a small stage, and the Rivera is eternal." However, like many legendary Italian stars, Rivera's national team career was not smooth. He 1970 won the second place in the World Cup with Italy, but Rivera was only a substitute. 1974, he put on 10 and fought for his country, but Italy only played three games and went home. Throughout his career, Rivera made 60 appearances for Italy and scored 14 goals.

4. albertini

AC Milan's midfield superstar is better at defense, but in the European Cup of 1996, albertini wore the jersey of 10. Albertini has won five league titles and 65,438+0 Champions League titles for AC Milan. Although his honor in the Italian national team is far less than that of the club, albertini, who played 79 games for the Azzurri and participated in the World Cup 1994, World Cup 1998, European Cup 1996 and 2000, is still a legend in Italian history.

5. Robert Baggio

There is no doubt that Baggio is the greatest and most popular star in Italy in the past 20 years. The only thing missing is the World Cup champion. 1994, Baggio wore 10 to participate in the World Cup in the United States, and almost one person pushed Italy to the top of the world. Unfortunately, the penalty missed in the final has become a pain that Baggio will never erase in his life. But it was this penalty that made Baggio win the love of the whole world. Being loved by the world because of failure, Baggio is unique.

6. Piero

Del Piero is destined to be the greatest player in Juventus history. Although he was once overshadowed by Totti, Del Piero insisted that he always stood at the top of football. Like Totti, Del Piero's history in the national team is not brilliant. He wore Italy's 10 jersey twice in the 198 World Cup and the European Cup in 2000, but both were disappointing. On the contrary, he played an important role as a substitute in the 2006 World Cup.

7.totti

Totti is a symbol of Rome. After Baggio, Totti has become a symbol of Italian football, and he is also a big fan of 10 jersey. Since the 2002 World Cup, Totti has been wearing the Italian 10 shirt for three consecutive world competitions, but in the national team, Totti's performance is not as magical as that in the club. He scored only nine goals in 58 appearances for his country, and winning the World Cup in Germany is undoubtedly the greatest comfort.

8. Cassano

Cassano finally found himself in Prandelli's Italian national team. As a famous "bad boy" in Italian football, Cassano was praised as a genius once in decades at the beginning of his debut, but his unruly temper made Lippi very unpopular and eventually missed the World Cup in South Africa. Fortunately, Cassano, 28, is still young. In today's Blue Army, his performance proves that he is a leader. This little caddy who once asked Baggio for his autograph is expected to cast a brand-new 65438+.
