Tom Brady admits humble love for Lionel Messi

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. , the popular American football quarterback who plays for New England Patriots, has admitted preference for Lionel Messi.

Speaking at a press conference, ahead of preparations for yet another explosive Super Bowl action, the 40-year-old said: “I love Messi and I think he’s a great player.”

The California-born legend continued, “I’m a little older than him, though.

“I love soccer and I’ve watched soccer for a long time.”

Brady also showed great humor when he regretted not being old enough to have watched Diego Maradona during his playing career.

Consultamos a Tom Brady por las comparaciones entre él y Messi (o Maradona) y dijo: “Amo a Messi, creo que es un gran jugador. Soy un poco mayor que él ya, pero amo al fútbol, y hace mucho que lo veo. Pero no soy tan viejo para hablar de Maradona”.#SB52#GoPats@NFL@NFLEspanol pic.twitter.com/SeTc4RwQiF
