The brazilian who plies his trade for Paris Saint Germain has revealed how he began wearing the number 10 shirt for Brazil.

Neymar Santos said he has always been a fan of the Brazilian legend, robinho and so wanted to put on number 7 jersey at all times.

Neymar revealed that when Robinho came back in to the squad, out of mutual respect, he had to hand over the number 7 shirt back to Robinho and he went to the other number he liked which is the number 11.

Then Robinho left. At another time, numbers were being distributed again, he told him he needed either 7 or 11. However, Dani Alves jumped in and told Neymar to take number 10 jersey that it fits him. And that's how he began using the number.

When he got to PSG, he picked the same number 10.

Neymar Santos is the captain of the Selecta and at jut 26, he already has 59 international goals.
