ChatGPT: Write a story about Leo a database programmer thinking about who the best players were to wear the number 10 shirt

Leo sat in front of his television, watching highlights of some of the greatest soccer players to ever wear the number 10 jersey. He had always been fascinated by the way these players were able to control the game, command the ball, and create opportunities for their teammates. As a database programmer, he spent most of his days staring at a computer screen, so it was a welcome relief to spend some time watching the beautiful game.

The first player he watched was Lionel Messi, the Argentinian superstar who had made a name for himself at FC Barcelona. Leo couldn't help but be impressed by Messi's speed, agility, and ability to change direction on a dime. Messi was a master at creating space for himself, and he always seemed to know where his teammates were on the field. He had a fantastic sense of timing and could finish with either foot, making him a threat from any angle.

Next up was Diego Maradona, the legendary Argentinian who had played for Napoli, among other teams. Maradona was known for his dribbling skills, and Leo could see why. Maradona was a magician with the ball, able to weave in and out of defenders with ease. He was also a great finisher, and his goal in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal against England is still regarded as one of the best ever scored.

Leo then watched highlights of Zico, the Brazilian midfielder who played for Flamengo. Zico was a master of the free-kick, and his technique was flawless. He had a great sense of anticipation and was always in the right place at the right time. Zico was also a great passer of the ball and was able to find his teammates with pinpoint accuracy.

Luka Modrić was next on Leo's list. The Croatian midfielder had made a name for himself at Real Madrid, and Leo could see why. Modrić was a tireless worker who was always willing to put in the hard yards for his team. He had a fantastic range of passing and could break down defenses with ease. Modrić was also a great reader of the game and was able to anticipate his opponents' moves before they even happened.

Finally, Leo watched Neymar Jr., the Brazilian superstar who currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar was a master at taking on defenders, and Leo couldn't help but be impressed by his speed and agility. Neymar was also a great passer of the ball, and he had a fantastic sense of vision, always knowing where his teammates were on the field.

As Leo watched these players in action, he couldn't help but think about the older players he had never had the chance to see. Players like Pele, Johan Cruyff, and Giuseppe Meazza had all made a name for themselves before Leo was even born, but he had heard so much about them that he wished he could have seen them play.

Leo had a special fondness for Diego Maradona, and he liked to watch the Napoli warmup video that featured the song "Life is Life" by Opus. The video showed Maradona and his teammates warming up before a match, and the energy and excitement in the stadium were palpable. The fans were chanting Maradona's name, and Leo could feel the electricity in the air. The video always gave him a sense of nostalgia, even though he had never been there to witness it himself.

As he continued to watch highlights of some of the greatest players of all time, Leo couldn't help but be inspired. He loved the way these players were able to take control of the game and create magic on the field. He knew that he would never be able to play at that level himself, but he didn't mind. Watching these players was enough to bring
