Marca: Real Madrid is expected to update player numbers within a few hours, Mbappe will take over No. 10 jersey
According to Marca, Real Madrid is expected to update their player numbers within a few hours, when Mbappe will take over the No. 10 jersey.
At the Bernabeu Stadium, history repeats itself. The arrangement of fate allows Real Madrid fans to relive the past and awaken those unforgettable memories of the night. When Ronaldo came here, he was still a young man full of dreams, wearing the No. 9 jersey because the No. 7 jersey still belongs to Raul. But Ronaldo waited patiently and eventually won the iconic No. 7 jersey, opening up his glorious era.
This history reminds people of the scene when Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009. At that time, Ronaldo, who was used to wearing No. 7 jersey, had to wear No. 9 because of Raul's existence. A year later, Raul left the team, and Ronaldo finally got the No. 7 jersey and began his legendary career in the White Army.
Before joining Real Madrid in 2009, Ronaldo registered the "CR9" trademark in Portugal, indicating that he will use this number in Real Madrid. However, the registration lasted only one season, before he reactivated the trademark that was popular worldwide and a hot spot in media and marketing.
Ronaldo said on his first day of joining Real Madrid: "I do want the No. 7 jersey, but I know it is the number of the team's legendary player. I care more about whether I perform well, not what number to wear. It is me who plays the ball, not the number on my back."
Now, Mbappe has embarked on the same path, showing the same patience and determination. When Mbappe first arrived in Real Madrid, the No. 10 jersey was still in Modric's hands. Mbappe chose No. 9 and said: "We already have a No. 10, Modric, who is a legend, Ballon d'Or winner. I am proud to be able to fight with him. My eyes are always forward and focus on scoring goals."
The news that waiting for Real Madrid official website to update their jersey numbers is expected to be announced in the next few hours, which will mark the beginning of the Mbappe era. This change has a significant impact on the competitive, emotional and business levels.
From a marketing perspective, it's a perfect story: a symbolic number, a global superstar, and the most watched club in the world. Unifying his jersey numbers in the club and national teams will further strengthen his global presence, which is crucial to marketing and his football idol status.
Although No. 9 is already an important and prestigious number that is enough to attract fans to buy jerseys, changing to No. 10 means directly inheriting Modric's legendary number. It can be foreseen that a large number of Real Madrid fans will rush to buy French star No. 10 jerseys.
Previously, Adidas was unable to deliver in time due to a surge in orders in a short period of time, resulting in a delivery time of more than six weeks. Therefore, Real Madrid Club expects this number change to trigger an unprecedented sales boom.
Similar situations happened when Ronaldo joined. When he first wore a No. 9 jersey in the 2009/10 season, Real Madrid sold 2,000 jerseys at a rate of 15 pieces per minute, and the Bernabeu Stadium store alone earned about 170,000 euros.
This change in the number is not only a change in numbers, but also a signal that Mbappe is ready to take more responsibilities and lead the team back to the top. In Real Madrid, the number carries rich history and stories behind it. Mbappe not only inherited the No. 10 jersey, but also accepted the inheritance behind it. The club expects this change to bring huge business effects, just like when Ronaldo wore the No. 9 jersey for the first time.
Mbappe took over the No. 10 jersey, marking the beginning of his new era in Real Madrid. This number once belonged to stars such as J Ronaldo, Las Diarra, Sneider, Robinho, and Figo. Now, it’s Mbappe’s turn to write a new chapter.
