Rodrygo reveals his reaction when Neymar offered him Brazil's no. 10 shirt
Neymar Jr. stunned Rodrygo last week when he offered him the Brazil number 10 jersey - after he quits international football.
"Neymar said to me 'I'm already leaving the national team and the 10 is yours,'" Rodrygo said in a chat with Podpah.
"I didn't even know what to say to him. I was embarrassed, I giggled and didn't even know what to say properly.
"I told him that he must play some more, that I didn't want [him] to [do so] now. And then he laughed."
The no. 10 is an iconic jersey at Brazil. It was previously worn by Brazilian legends like Pele, Zico, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and now Neymar.
Rodrygo has put on the no. 10 for Brazil back in 2018/19 when playing for Brazil's under-20 side.
However, he's never put on the no. 10 at club level.
