Nothing at all against you, Reese but that article is based on the same quotations from Amauri from two days ago but some spice has been added to it; and of course the flashy "cliché" title.

    Amauri picks #8 :eyebrows:

    A little challenge to Il Zingaro? :D

    Camo will go back to #16 I guess.

    Why did he pick 8?

    The only thing more annoying than people choosing numbers that don't suit their position are strikers who choose high numbers like 77 or 99.

    or a defender using #10. I don't remember which defender used #10, I think it was an Arsenal player. I'm not sure.

    Gallas wears number 10.

    Lothar Matthaus wore the number 10 throughout his career, even when he was switched to sweeper. He was pretty nasty back there with the ball, so I don't mind a sweeper wearing the number 10 because sometimes he's the field general.

    Well, Matthaus is a different story. Anyway, Gallas is not exactly a Matthaus. You're right, there are some exceptions if Scirea or Baresi used the #10 I wouldn't be bothered at all.

    But with Matthaus it was a different case, he wouldn't give his number. Speakign of which, I would love to see Nedved as a sweeper, can you imagine the passes coming from behind?

    Because Ranieri plans to use him in midfield...

    It used to be quite common for a sweeper to wear No.10. I think the tradition died when teams stopped playing systems that used a real libero type sweeper.

    Matthaus just kept his number from his midfield days. Jeez, he was one hell of a player.

    Nedved as a sweeper? :lol2: Thanks, Jack, but I'll pass on that one.

    Well that figures.

    Yeah indeed. I'm trying to remember other liberos who wore the number as well. Did the Romanian Belodedici wear 10?
