The Perfect 10
Who have been the best, the most exciting and the most creative football players in the world over the past 25 years?
Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Zinedine Zidane perhaps? How about Ruud Gullit, Marco Van Basten and Michel Platini?
Do they have anything in common? Well, they could all be loosely described as number 10s.
They are players who control games from a forward area using their vision, skill, intelligence and, above all, creativity.
Going back through history, the truly great teams have almost always had one of them. Right now, Barcelona have four - Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and now Cesc Fabregas. That is proof of just how highly Barca - the best in the business - rate this type of player.
