Sports News] NicolO Zaniolo, the Italian football star who recently announced
his loan move from Galatasaray in the Turkish Super League to Aston Villa in
the Premier League, recently shared in a media interview the reason behind his
choice of the No. 22 jersey. It turns out that the number 22 holds a special
meaning for him and was not chosen randomly. Zaniolo revealed that his idol is
the legendary Brazilian star Kaka, who also wore the No. 22 jersey during his
playing career. Additionally, Zaniolo’s mother shares a birthday on the 22nd,
further adding significance to the number. Zaniolo rose to prominence in Serie
A with Roma but had a strained relationship with the club due to transfer
issues and was eventually traded away.
