Just a few hours after sharing the pitch with Critiano Ronaldo, NFL legend, Tom Brady has announced his return to Buccaneers for a third season. This will be the 44-year old’s 23rd season overall.
The news comes after the seven-time Super Bowl winner was seen interacting with Cristiano Ronaldo, after the 37-year old scored a hattrick for Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur. With a tally of 807 career goals, Ronaldo has become the highest goalscrorer of all time, as recognised by FIFA.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm

In a now viral video, Cristiano allegedly asked Brady if he was “actually done” and while Brady’s answer seemed inaudible, the mystery was rather short-lived.

Brady had announced his intention of retiring from NFL about six weeks ago. However, now with this return, he will be coming off of one of his best statistical seasons, with 43 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, and finishing as a runner-up to Aaron Rodgers for the league MVP award.
While Brady’s comeback would’ve been on the cards for a while now, it didn’t help Twitter in making a connection with Ronaldo’s hattrick.
If Tom Brady went to watch Messi instead of Ronaldo he’d still be in retirement

Tom Brady was on his feet applauding Ronaldo's tremendous hattrick ag Spurs, met him after the game and decided to return from retirement within 30 hours. Coincidence? nope.

If Cristiano Ronaldo spent his game against Tottenham creating chances and dribbling players, Tom Brady would still be retired.

The glazers used Tom Brady winning a Super Bowl to get Cristiano Ronaldo back then they used Cristiano Ronaldo to get Tom Brady back.
Wallahi they need investigation!

Tom Brady legit watched 37-year-old Cristano Ronaldo become the greatest goal-scorer in history with a hat trick against Tottenham, turned around and said "I'm coming back" the very next day.
Legend.
