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

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.

[ALDOSIVIToN]

I respect so much that among all top 10s you mentioned Riquelme especially.

[zainyardo]

I really love this channel, really helped me fall in love with the beautiful game

[ooooooooo]

Kevin D should have been the number 10 instead of Grealish

[mattstevenson]

Riquelme, what a player. Not talked about enough.

[ethanprince]

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.

[yitzhakmalul]

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.

[SongofIceandTea]

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.

[Taylan_]

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

[debayandee]

This is exactly what Martin Odegaard is doing for Arsenal ❤

[Cobalrus]

Not a single mention of Müller really shows how underrated my man is

[mihaiconstantin]

Looking forward to more short videos like this one!

[dzikrinugraha]

Özil is a perfect example for this position.

[stupiditiusmaximus]

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.
