In 2022, football players and clubs are more active than ever on social media. Top players such as Lionel Messi, Memphis Depay, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but also clubs from home and abroad give an insight into the ins and outs (almost) daily via Instagram, Twitter or other internet channels. Football zone put the craziest, most beautiful and most striking posts on social media in the section VZ Social on a row.

Kalidou Koulibaly has called John Terry to ask for permission to wear shirt number 26. The center defender, who came over from Napoli, shares images of the moment he calls his ‘predecessor’ via various social media channels. Koulibaly already wore shirt number 26 at Napoli and also wants to be employed by the Blues play with that song. Since Terry’s move from Chelsea to Aston Villa in 2017, no one has worn ’26’ on their backs anymore.

“Sorry, my English is not so good but I’m doing my best”, Koulibaly opens the conversation. “John, I want to ask you something. As you know I already played with number 26 at Napoli. Since you left Chelsea, nobody wore your jersey number. I also want to play with ’26’ now, so I was wondering if you’d be okay with me taking that number.” Terry really appreciates the call from Koulibaly. “26 is indeed a very special number for me, but it’s no problem if you take over the number. It’s a great pleasure to see you with the jersey number.” Koulibaly: “Thank you so much! It will be a heavy shirt to wear.”
