Paulo Dybala said the Number 10 jersey is “an honour, a sense of responsibility and of belonging to the history of a great club like Juventus.”

The former 21 was given the iconic shirt yesterday and wore it for the first time at the Juventus Allianz Arena in Turin this afternoon.

“When they asked me to change my shirt number, I waited and thought if it was right to leave the 21 that was – and still will be on international duty – a number I care about a great deal, which allowed me to lift many trophies and belonged to top players like Zinedine Zidane and Andrea Pirlo,” wrote La Joya on Instagram.

“But the Number 10 is special. It’s an honour to wear it, as it carries a sense of responsibility and of belonging to the history of a great club like Juventus FC.

“It was on the backs of so many Bianconeri champions: Omar Sivori, Michel Platini, Roberto Baggio, Alessandro Del Piero, Carlos Tevez.

“This is why for me today, having the Number 10 shirt on my skin is not just a childhood dream come true, but also an even stronger commitment inside of me to bring my team to victory in every game, in every competition and for every trophy.

“Paulo Dybala 10.”

I don't agree with the opinions that he's being played out of position. Imo it would be a waste to keep him only in the penalty area. When we play, you can see how often he switches positions with Higuain. Every technically sound striker draws back these days like Higuain, Lewandowski, Suarez, Ibra etc. I don't believe that breaking the lines and bullying opposition's defenders are Paulo's main strengths... When we counter, him along Higuain are the highest up on the pitch anyway.

After a couple years now, I have to agree he's a #9. I was the first person on the bandwagon to try him in other positions but after seeing the results, it's confirmed for me that he's a #9.

I can understand giving him the number 10 as a sign of intent, but sadly i do not see him deserving it nor benefiting of it. He crumbled in the champions league final big time. I do want somebody that performs when odds are against us with the number ten and not the first to crumble. He did not show any type of leadership yet. Whoring around the number 10 is not a good way to motivate players.
