Youri Djorkaeff

9/4/2020
You can still be a number ten even if the shirt number on your back says otherwise, as Youri Djorkaeff knows all too well.

Lothar Matthäus

8/21/2020
A born leader driven to win, Lothar Matthaus is without a doubt a number 10 that broke the mould. He was not – as most number 10s are often defined – the most skilful player in the team. But like all number tens, he possessed a vital quality: charisma. And thanks to that, along with his strength and leadership, Matthaus inspired Inter against the odds to the Scudetto in 1989 and the UEFA Cup in 1991. In between, there was World Cup glory in 1990 with West Germany. His achievements and...

Evaristo Beccalossi

8/7/2020
Left or right side, it didn’t make a difference to him: Evaristo Beccalossi was our number 10, a genius and an inspiration, your typical classy player but one however that did not always fit with the style of the team / but one however that was not always easy to slot into the formation. A pure talent: even if sometimes he tended to disappear in matches only to then stamp his mark on the game again, suddenly catching you by surprise and amazing the fans leaving them speechless. A man who...
