In Argentina it's so clear what positions the shirt numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 represent that a lot of times when we talk about a position we don't even say the name, we say the number. For example: saying "número 5" or "el cinco" is waaay more common than saying "mediocampista defensivo", "el volante de contención", etc.

Also, something funny happened when Daniel Alves signed with São Paulo and they gave him the number 10, people started making jokes about it, saying "my 2 wears the 10" even if he was going to play in the midfield at this point of his career.

Traditionally the Brazilian LB is 6 and 16, while on the right hand side, 2 and 13 / 14. And then 3, 4, 5 are surely defensive players (where 3 and 4 are almost certainly CBs), but the 5 mostly DMF, or CB, in rare cases like 2002. Unlike many other countries, the 8 (as characterised by Dunga and Gilberto Silva in the modern days) is usually a defensive mid-fielder, but it also see more offensive roles in the 2006 Kaka or a more central role in Paulinho and more recently Arthur. Little needs to be said of 9 and 10, except a notable exception in the 1994 number 9, Zinho, being a MF. 7 and 11 are the more flexible ones in Brazil, where 11 have seen a DMF in Ze Roberto to OMF in Ronaldinho, Oscar and later on LWF Robinho and Neymar (in his earlier years). 7 is likewise, Emerson (prior to withdrawal from the 2002 team) as a DMF to the more recent Douglas Costa as a RWF. But the most famous exception to the 7 and 11 is of course the baby rocking pair of the 1994 team. Beyond that, if there can still be a pattern, it must be that 12 is almost always the reserve GK (except the 2018 Marcelo), the aforementioned 13, 14, 16 and then the 20 21 being attackers.

In germany we go even further than just the "Sechser" The defensiv midfielders are called (like in the video) "Sechser" (coming from Sechs = six). Our central midfielders are called "Achter" (coming from Acht = eight) and our offensive midfielders are the "Zehner" (Coming from Zehn = ten) Additionally some numbers have a sweet spots on some positions: 1 is obviously the Goalkeeper 12 is banned from most germany teams, because the Fans are the " twelfth" man on the pitch. 9 and 11 are almost everytime strikers 7 is def. a winger 2, 3, 4 are almost always defenders 5 is either a defender or a deep lying midfielder And sometimes, but i think this happens outside of Germany as well, we give the number 10 not to the OM, but to the best player of the squad

Great video. I've always wondered how the shirt numbers evolved from the 2-3-5 to the more modern systems, especially with the back 4, and why it varies so much by country. I miss the times before squad numbers when players just wore 1 to 11. Also, that Operário shirt at 5:58 👍

1:15 I’d imagine I’m completely wrong, and this probably has to do more with the presence of rugby in Queensland and NSW however shirt numbers first appeared in the VFL in 1903 to assist spectators. I’d also imagine the rugby of some sort had adopted numbers before football which also gave rise to shirt numbers on the back of Australian kits in 1911, if that is true of course.

Pretty much 2,3,4,5 are the Defenders

The Italian and Argentina teams in the 1980s and 1994 (only Italy) also see some interesting patterns. Argentina in those years assigned numbering (except Maradona) by alphabetical orders of surnames, which saw their GK assigned a single digit number other than 1, and 1 given to a MF. This could not happen anymore since FIFA mandated 1 to be assigned exclusively to the GK in recent decades. Italy back then was similar - but with a slightly different principle. With the exception of the GKs, all its 1982 players were numbered with the DFs taking the smaller numbers, then the MFs and then the FWs, whereas in their 1994 team, with the exception of the GKs, Baresi and R. Baggio, everyone else are numbered in the same principle, and then probably by the alphabetical order of their surnames.

Great video as always. All my life i tought this was a worldwide conventional system but the fact that it was adapted in each country by how they change their tactics it's just amazing. And love the inclusion of Riquelme in the higlighted number 10s.

Great video. In Santos Futebol Clube, we are the only brazilian club that have a tradition like the Argentina's number, with 2 and 6 Central Back.

Last week i was watching a match of my favorite team, it was a match from 2005. I saw that the right back wore number 4 and I found it weird because here in Brazil they use number 2. This video explained everything. I ended up remembering that, at the beginning of that season, the coach was an Argentine. He didn't stay in the club for more than a month, but the number remained. Thanks, Tifo! =D

Speaking of which, I do recall an Inter Milan player wearing “1+8” as another player was already 9. Also, I recall more recently William Gallas wearing 10 despite the number being odd for a defender.

Great video. I remember the first time I saw Zidane playing for Real Madrid, I was like “why the hell he uses the number 5?” As a Brazilian, you always think 2 is the RB, 6 LB, 5 is the primeiro volante (More defensive CM like Kanté or Makelele) and the 8 is the segundo volante (the CM who makes the transition and helps the attack. 11 and 7 were hybrids, it serves a midfielder or an center forward. But 9 and 10 are sacred: the striker and the attacking midfielder (the creator of the team or the trequartista).

Shirt numbers is one of those bizarre niches I've always been interested in but never had the inclination to research, so thank you very much for this, it was fascinating & has probably saved me hours of my life...

4:46 Biglia is wearing a shirt with the number 6, while it's told that in Uruguay it is normally the 5.

It's not common for players in the 6 position to actually use that shirt number, so it's usually free for cdms if the 5 is used by someone else (still the player is referred as a 6 player no matter what number he uses in the matches)

This video: exists Facchetti 52 years ago, Euro ‘68: Yeah let’s wear no. 10 just to confuse everyone that i’m an offensive player and not a left back...

So interesting 🙌🏼

3:07 I think the Doncaster manager joined a band after this...😂

👍Very informative I am a numbers guy. 3:10 made me chuckle out loud.😂

love this history series soo much

GREAT video, i always wondered why Xavi wore the 6 if he wasn't a defender, same with Fabregas, or why Puyol wore the 5 if he wasn't a defensive midfielder(I'm Argentinian)

Please follow this up with a squad numbers video. Things like (and have already been mentioned): Why some leagues have such high squad numbers (Italian leagues) When players couldn't get their usual number (beckham. Zamorano) 12/13 being the sub keeper's number etc.

Such an underrated football channel

Bendtler chose 3 in Wolfsburg 😂

Fantastic video. You are absolutly right about the numbers in Brazil. I’m brazilian. Congratulations

Always found it interesting that 2nd choice keepers usually wear 13, because of the fans being the 12th man. But have no idea about the history of it.

Reserve GKs wearing 13 simply came about because when substitutes were first introduced, only one was allowed, so they just took the next number after 12.

@@Snookbone In brazil 12 is the number for the substitute keeper, because he is the first player on the bench

The number 10 in Brazilian football culture is supposed to be some kind of deity: he is a master of the through ball, he scores, he dribbles, he dictates the pace, he has 95% free kick accuracy, and he is classy ("plays in a tuxedo"), and obviously is the captain too. Echoes of times long past.

Ronaldinho came close. In some ways, he was that God. Neymar has the skills, but lacks class, leadership and the "aura". The other mentioned players were beasts on their own right, but I wouldn't say they don't fully incarnate the mystic of the "Brazilian number 10" (yes, even Pele, despite being the "athlete of the century" and the original number 10 lol). A lot of the longing for the godlike 10 appears to come from Flamengo fans who witnessed Zico's golden years.

Great video! Here in Argentina, César Luis Menotti, in the 1978 World Cup, decided that the numbers of the players must be in alphabetical orden, instead the normal way. He thought that changing the numbering system will confuse the rivals, that's why Ubaldo Matildo Fillol, the goalkeeper, wore the number 5, for example. I think that the estrategy came out really well! It was our first world cup.

Argentina did the same in 1974...except the Gks (1-12-21)

Fun fact: Santos is probably the only Brazilian club who uses the 4-2-6-3 backline. This happens since Pele days when the club addopted a 3 defenders as a alternative to 4-2-4. And then the cdm (number 6) became a center back and the wingers started using 3 and 4, but when Santos swap to a 4 backline again they were the fullbacks. Nowadays when the club signs a starter fullback they still gave him the number 3 or 4

Brazil version (national squad) GK - 1 RB - 2 CB - 4 CB - 3 LB - 6 CDM - 5 CM - 8 CAM - 10 RW / LW - 11 / 7 ST - 9 Obs* - CAM / LW / RW tend to vary a lot with Neymar using the 10

Hmm, this revealed a lot. Why J. Zanetti wore 4. Why R. Carlos wore 6. etc.

Not long after watching this video, I saw the whole of the Crystal Palace-Liverpool 1990 FA Cup semi-final (Palace put it up on KZread), so I was interested to see if the shirt numbers matched English convention. So obviously, as the video says, both sides started with 1-11, but: Palace's wide men (certainly during the first half) were John Salako and Andy Gray, wearing 10 and 4 respectively. Phil Barber was wearing 7 but probably playing in the number 10 role. Alan Pardew was wearing 11 but seemed to be in central midfield. For Liverpool, John Barnes wearing 10 but ostensibly playing down the left, and Peter Beardsley 7 but more centrally, but as they seemed to swapping positions fairly freely, that actually made sort of sense.

In Germany you usually call the deepest midfielder "Sechser" (nr.6), the one ahead "Achter" (nr.8) and if there´s a third one that´s even more attacking you´d call that one "Zehner" (nr.10) to the extent that some people get confused once you say "attacking midfielder" instead of "Zehner".

Class!

WE NEED A TIFO ON T&T GETTING TO 2006 WORLD CUP. So much has been made, and rightly so, of Iceland being a small nation at the World Cup but T&T previously held that title. It is an amazing story including a white Brit that scored an important goal in our playoff against Bahrain to qualify. Legendary player Dwight Yorke was the Captain. This story is a must!!!

I have a shirt number OCD. To me numbers would always be as follows: GK: 1 RB: 2 LB: 3 RCB: 4 LCB: 5 DM: 6 RW: 7 B2B: 8 LW: 11 CAM: 10 ST: 9

One of your best.

When I was playing amateur football in the seventies, lads would automatically grab their favourite shirt, centre forwards would grab the 9, team loudmouth would grab the 10 and because of Best, Keegan, etc, the 7 caused a fight. I always grabbed the 11 first as nobody wanted it.

Some of the odd numbers I remember are Gallas wearing 10, Boulahrouz 9, Dempsey 2at Spurs, Asamoah Gyan 3, and Kolarov 11 at City
