This is why Tifo is the best. Short and simple explanations with a great visual representation of what the subject stands for. Amazing content.
Most of their shorts are kinda too superficial… There’s time to go deeper into the topic but they usually just state everything we already know and call it a day
I swear down ... Well explained
it's plain wrong though
@@edmann1820not rlly
@@sethholland-vn7og It starts off by saying it's the most iconic position. If it's iconic it must be well defined. It's only in recent years that clubs have stopped playing with two strikers and started playing with one striker and the number 10 that they describe.. For me growing up a number 10 was a target man or a deep lying forward. Never a midfield position. So how can a number be iconic when it's the position that has changed more than any other? It mentions some number 10's from a long time ago but they were the exceptions, not the rule. TIFO has way too much recency bias. This leads them to push a narrative that simply hasn't been true for most of football's history. They're like the guys who pretend that football didn't exist before the PL. And, they have no excuse because most of their analysts are older than me. They should know better.
Riquelme what an absolutely underrated and truly gifted player would never join me on football manager but didn't stop my admiration for his talent
Not quite Rashford though

Amazing player .his passes are from different world 🌎
Right 👍. Ozil was the player with most assist a RM
was the best no 10 for years and then people forgot
Ahh... Juan Román Riquelme. Probably one of the best n. 10s I ever witnessed, a massively underrated player that could have even played for Fergusson's UTD, yet opted to play for Boca Juniors of Argentina.
Big number ten, one of the best of our generation.
Kevin D should have been the number 10 instead of Grealish
He's a number 8 mostly
@@BhargaPrasadyou’ve got to be kidding!
@@BhargaPrasadnah he should get 7
Hes more of an 8 tbh
I may be wrong but I don't think they do the same types of numberings in England as they do everywhere, like the 10 doesn't have the same worth for them as lets say the 9. For example Kane uses 10 for Spurs when he's clearly a 9
I respect so much that among all top 10s you mentioned Riquelme especially.
Riquelme, what a player. Not talked about enough.
The ball control on this guy was something else
Too bad that Barca bought the wrong midfielder back then
@@JamailvanWesteringvan gaal made it worse for him to play
@@Juancho-05 no van Gaal never wanted him in the first place.
Van Gaal wanted a left sided midfielder. Not a attacking midfielder.
If you want to blame anyone blame it on the scouting, not on van Gaal
Riquelme - Probably the most overrated 10 ever?
I really love this channel, really helped me fall in love with the beautiful game
Can we suggest that Jari Litmanen was ahead of his time in the '94-'95 Ajax side in being a workhorse-like #10? His defensive abilities allowed the #4 to be the regista-like playmaker.
Litmanen is one of the most underrated players in history. He was way ahead of his time.
Özil is a perfect example for this position.
The Tsubasa.
This is exactly what Martin Odegaard is doing for Arsenal ❤
And Ødegaard is the perfect example of the 8/10 hybrid rather than a classic 10.
Ode isn't a 10.His profile is more unique, he's a 8/10 hybrid similar to pedri.
@@Just-J2he plays as a 10. He joins G.Jesus to press the centre backs when Arsenal do not have the ball, and drops into midfield when Arsenal do.
We don't talk about Ozil anymore. Do we?
@@finding_aether You basically just described a 8/10 hybrid...
Not to mention Pelé, the guy why the number 10 got its meaning in football ...
shirt number =/= position
Pele was a striker or centre forward
@@franciscovazquezavila7627 False. Coutinho (almost of his time on Santos), Tostão, and Vavá were most iconic CFs who Pelé player with. Pelé was to them basically as Messi was to Suarez.
@@franciscovazquezavila7627Pele was mostly a false 9 than a creative player
Garrincha or Didi was no.10 of Brazil
@@gourmondal5812 Vavá was the CF in 1958 and 1962 World Cups. And Coutinho was the CF on Santos during Pelé's era. Both were fluid, but they were definitely the CF and Pelé coming from behind.
Garrincha was basically a right-winger, rarely attacking from the middle.
@@gourmondal5812Pelé was called in Brasil "ponta de lança" which translates to "spearhead" and is used to refer to the player who usually positions behind the striker making passes to the striker, one-twos and shooting from outside the box... So a n. 10 which got it's name because Pelé used the n. 10 shirt.
he just described Messi
Riquelme personified the Enganche role. truly the best player South American football saw
I really hope people dont misread your comment, because they are going to blast you lol (I agree btw, Riquelme the master of "Toco y me voy")
I play a number 10 role on the left wing and attacking midfield, once I got 7 assists and 3 goals in an 11-8 win
many people claim that the number 10 is dead because you can't have a player who doesn't work on the pitch.
the number 10 has changed and now needs to put up work but can also add creativity to the team. it's not dead.
it is dead in most systems. Football has outgrown the classic number 10 role. Players like odegaard are 8/10 hybrids, not a classic 10.
Dele is a classic example. He is a typical no.10 who couldn't fit into modern systems.
@@akshayb9798dele is more of a false nine
Messi is the definition of proper no 10
He is hybrid between a 9 and 10.
throughout he's career he's been a winger and a false 9. not a 10
He's a hybrid no 10 , the classic no 10 doesn't exist, that's why Riquelme was called the last no 10.
@@franciscovazquezavila7627bro messi is the guy who droppes deep recives the ball creat chances and give assist and also he has the ability of 9 too scoring goals
@@messileonal4575yeah, but majority of his career he didnt play like a number 10, his iconic 2012 season was played as a false 9
Ricardo Kaká, one of the greatest No. 10 I've seen..
You never seen Messi?
@@shnn1_ Seriously, You started with the messi-ronaldo fiasco... This video is about The role of no. 10 in Football. Messi wears the No. 10 shirt but is actually a winger/ forward who drops deep to help build up the attack for his team and cuts into the middle to shoot. First learn the difference between the roles, My friend!
@@CaptainMAKZ and you too are somewhat wrong kaka too was not classical no.10 his position was way ahead and HID PLAYMAKING WASNT THAT SPECIAL
and messi is cross of no.9 and 10 thanks to guardiola
You're right his Playmaking wasn't that special, don't know why all these experts call him one of a kind Gifted Playmaker, they might be fools?
I'm sure I would believe your two cents above all the Footballing Legends who hail him as one of the greatest Playmaker from Pele, Maldini, Lampard to Carlo Ancelotti, Zidene, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Thanks!
Nah the best no.10 is Jack grealish lol
Not a single mention of Müller really shows how underrated my man is
he’s number 25 but yeah his role is like that. they mostly talk players that wear 10 in this video
also he’s no longer underrated. everyone talks about him being underrated which is making me believe everyone knows. who cares about the media? everyone knows. underrated is like rakitić. even mourinho knows
Muller is special. He is the one and only raumdeuter
Muller has played more as a centre forward than anything else. he's not a n10
He's a 10 and second striker hybrid who tracks back like an 8. KDB shares the same profile. That's how they survived the death of the classic luxury 10 role where Ozil, James, Isco, Coutinho suffered.
Muller is raumdeuter he is a winger and striker he creates space for his players no9 and 10 it requires simple skill and football intelligence, that’s why muller has the one of the highest footballing IQ in the world
Oscar at Chelsea under mourinho was the 1st no.10 to combine finesse with workrate, paving the way for the modern no.10. ICONIC 💙🔥
Hazard was way better tho and he chose money
@@greez6424 ok?
The number 10 is a dying breed imo as most natural 10s end up as the attacking CM in a 3 man midfield e.g. De Bruyne and Eriksen. The only world class 10s I can think of are Bruno Fernandes and Thomas Muller and they can play there because they are also the hardest working players on the pitch
Please understand, no 10 is not always a playmaker, but most of them are, and just because they score a lot of goals doesn't make them not a no 10, just like Messi, he is the purest no 10, but he just so good that he could score 30+ goals a season.
Looking forward to more short videos like this one!
There is no reason you needed to show Defending as something negative, not only is our job harder, it is also the only reason that you don't lose by a lot/you don't lose a lot. And, it's very fun. Pepple keep showing devensive plays as something boring and stale, and attacking plays as extremely cool and fun. It's much more than that.
Kaka is the perfect example of No.10
Not really, he played more like a second striker anyway and his playmaking abilities weren't that special
@@hoya1178second striker is what a no.10 is
More like Özil or James Rodriguez
@@lilxnoa4027 Not really, they share some attributes but they are way more into shooting rather than playmaking like a 10
Don't forget wazza
Ah. I don’t understand why Riquelme didn’t get enough praise during his time. I was watching Villarreal champions league games just because of him
Love the video, could you do the number 4 shirt next?
In today’s game, Modrić is probably the best representation of a balance number 10 in both offensive and defensive part. The best of both worlds.
Modric is a CM or deep-lying playmaker, not 10 lol.
He lacks the number of goals to be no 10 and play way too deep for what 10 supposed to be, at least Modric in Real Madrid.
Also, Griezmann and Bruno Fernandes would disagree.
Next, would be Jamal Musiala
@@ahmadmuliawan0008yes he’s an 8
The role of Enganche, which is what Riquelme played, became a massive liability to Argentina . A 10 now has to attack & defend, which 10’s back then didn’t do much because they didn’t run much
Loved the new video ❤
Classic number 10
MESUT OZIL ❤️
Man talking about number 10 without talking about Pelé is an crime,because before him 10 was Just an number
Did dele play the 10 under poch? He was so good during that era and it sounds a lot like what he did for spurs.
Jorge Valdivia, the chilean Ronaldinho, and one of the best no. 10 in football history. His passes were magic.
With this simplified explanation that Tifo gave, Messi fits as a 10. I've seen the more in-depth look and understand why the 10 role doesn't fit. To counter though, I am now talking about Messi of right now, 2023, when I say, he's a 10. He's stretching it, but just fits the role.
To those wondering why Messi doesn't fit a 10, simple answer, he does far too much on the wing and centrally at the front to fit a traditional number 10. That's why you see comments saying he's more of a 9 or 7, even though both of those don't fit him. Once he retires I think we'll all just say he was a complete forward... and also had a low defensive work rate. No ill will on the last part, just adding the caveat.
FALSE 9
HE CAN DO BOTH THINGS that NO'9 AND NO.10 DOES
his defensive work rate is low
Roberto Baggio
Sandro Del Piero
Pablo Aimar (Messi's icon)
Rui Costa
Tifo have to explain number. 11 which third best number in football behind 7 and 10
Jude Bellingum, a combination of 10, 9, and 8. makes taclkles and recoveries in the middle, plays line breaking passes, crucial counter attack passses, and finishes of better than most modern strikers.
😂
Make a video differentiating number 10 and shadow striker role
Who is the first player who comes to you mind when you re of the no.10 jersey? Mine's Messi.
riquelme
What a player Roman was
Is everyone just gonna ignore how he didn't mention Messi?
Probably talking abt legends , not saying Messi isn’t but I’m talking abt retired ones
Why people think messi is not proper no 10. He literally plays in AM,RWF,CF(FALSE 9)
He is a false 9 which means a deep lying striker
@@Futbolistic10 deep lying forward
@@Futbolistic10What about when he played alongside Suárez? He was certainly not playing as a striker there.
@@kjn3350 support striker
A lot of people misunderstanding about number 10 role. It is not just wear number 10. Maradona, Requelme and Kaka is pure number 10 role that really good. While ronaldinho or messi or others is more to winger. Which they are not pure number 10 role.
Perfect Definition of World's best number 10 Lionel Messi❤️🤝🏻
Francesco Totti ❤
he was more of a second striker/centre forward than anything else. not a true n10
No.6 next pls!
My favourite position
We wore the number 10 shirt because of Ronaldinho. He made that jersey iconic.
Can you do a vid explaining why 2 lefted cb are never used.
Pelé did wonders for n.10
Aye aye PLSSS MATER GIMME A VIDEO FOR NO 7
Can we get a video on the number 4 role please 😢
Number 10 role is basically connecting midfield and attack and also number 10 posses the both power of attcking as well as creating and passing like midfielder the best example is maradona messi muller ozil crufy and many more but now the number 10 role goes to player like grelish 😅
Juan Román Riquelme 💙💛💙
My no. 10 is Sneijder, that dude lethal on striking and passing
Messi and Pele left the chat
Because of Pelé,the number 10 ins't just a number
As a No.10 the position and responsibilities as one is difficult.

4-2-4 formation explained plz
Can you do no.21 and 16
Please do no. 7 please.
Why is no one talking about Ricardo Bochini?
Modric is the norm in modern days
Can’t believe Zidane is not mentioned, in my opinion he’s the best or the second best at this position in football history
You missed out Bowles, Currie, Stainrod, Gallen, Buzacky, Taraabt and Chair.
Please explain role of no.5
@relaxpls- Not full back
Do the number 11 next
please explain about NO. 11
Don't forget Tsubasa
Who?
young rooney was a fantastic number 10 in his teens / early-20s until he started playing more as a left-sided forward or number 9
10, 9, and 7, easily the best numbers
love 02
Could u plz plz do 21 plz bro 🙏
Pls do number 1
They should've said Henderson again like they did with the number 8 short
Diego Forlan in the 2010 World Cup
English speaking person acknowledges Riquelme?!?! Impossible
How can you forget messi??
Cry about it
Good gameplay
3 please
Seriously, how did tifo forgot to mention the one that started the legend of the no.10, king Pelé himself
He was a striker unlike kaka messi
I still remember Gallas wearing number 10 when he was in Arsenal. 😂😂😂
Number 2 pls
The number 10 is the most beautiful position in football
Modric, Messi, Maradona, Pelé, kaka, mbappe,(country) so many more comment anyone that I missed ❤
Riquelme was picture perfect number 10
In my opinion
U should do 11 next
Same in rugby
Last classic number 10 was Alex del Piero ADP.10🇮🇹.
Before him was Gheorghe Hagi GH10🇹🇩. He played like Maradona and Cruyff.
To fail to mention Pele when talking about the number 10 is simply unforgivable
Please do number 11 because im play for number 11
*List of things a number 10 is supposed to do in a football team* - unless you're Shinji Okazaki playing for Leicester City :D
My boy forgot the creator of the no 10 role Pelé at the beggining of the video
Im sorry. But the true epitome of the no.10 is none other than Dennis Bergkamp
