Vinicius Jr receives iconic jersey number at Brazil

Vinicius Junior will be wearing no. 10 in Brazil's upcoming friendly matches, according to Marcelo Bechler.

Rodrygo will now carry no. 11 – just like at Real Madrid next season.

Last time Brazil players were called up, Rodrygo had no. 10 while Vinicius had no. 20.

Brazil's no. 10 used to be worn by such legends as Pele, Zico, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar and even Kaka.

Selecao will have friendlies against Guinea and Senegal on June 17 and June 20 respectively.
