The Selecao legend admits he was "very sad" to see the iconic jersey treated without the proper respect
Rivaldo has slammed Brazil's decision to hand AC Milan midfielder Lucas Paqueta the number 10 shirt during the nation's 1-0 loss to Argentina on Friday.
With Neymar still sidelined through injury, the sacred jersey was handed to a 22-year-old Paqueta, who has only made 10 senior appearances for Brazil.
Rivaldo, one of many legendary Brazilians to have donned the number, believes such a young and inexperienced player shouldn't have been allowed to wear the shirt so soon.
