Raphinha Brazil number 10 confirmed

Raphinha is Brazil's new number 10. The CBF confirmed it, and he'll wear it with Carlo Ancelotti running the team. That shirt sat empty after Neymar announced he was stepping away from the Brazil National Team following his last World Cup. Now it lands on Raphinha, who takes over the number his friend left behind. Handing someone the heaviest shirt in international football is not a small thing, and this is happening while he's playing the best ball of his life. Nobody else was getting that call. He's the top forward going today, full stop. What's left is the hard part: proving he can turn a number into a legacy. Now or never for him. THIS NEWS EXCITED US ALL! FINALLY, A WORTHY HEIR. #Raphinha #Neymar
