The South East Asian News
The number 10 in football is one the most important role in the modern day football and players in that position more or less create goal scoring opportunities for the team
Bangkok, Thailand - Philippines leader President Duterte recieves a football jersey 10 kit at the ASEAN summit conference in Thailand on November 3 last Sunday. Brunei's Sultan Bolkiah also recieves a football jersey 10 kit while the rest of the South East Asian leaders recieve football jersey 9.
There were malicious reports that President Duterte was skipped and did not receive a football to embarrass the Filipino leader. There were videos posted on social media about President Duterte being skipped as the ASEAN leaders receive their jerseys. The video was incomplete and edited. The video was shared by a blogger on Twitter who was apparently a leftist and loyal to the opposition. But another video posted shows that the Philippine strongman leader was unitentionaly skipped over State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar then later on recieves his jersey kit and surprisingly it was number 10.
The Jersey 10 is said to be lucky in football and is only given to players who have become icons, legends and star players and only few were given the honor. Here are some of the well known football players that earned the Jersey 10. David Silva of Manchester, Christian Ericksen of Tottenham Hotspurs, Neymar of Paris, Edein Hazard of Chelsea and Lionel Messi of Barcelona.
Among the citizens of the Philippines, there is a profound meaning behind the Jersey 10 being given to President Duterte and Sultan Bolkiah. Since jersey 10 is for the strongest players in the football team, it is how the world recognize the Filipino President as a star player and a very powerful Asian leader.
