Considered as the greatest of all time (GOAT), Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is being used as an example and epitome for greatness and quest for success in other sports. The 43-year-old Brady further cemented his status as the GOAT after leading the Buccaneers to their first Super Bowl title since 2002 with a masterful 31-9 triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
Brady’s success is so contagious that teams from other sports have used his mindset and his desire to win and to succeed. “It’s like a similar deal with Tom Brady when they ask him what is his favorite win and he says: ‘The next one’!’” said Tuchel as he lauded Brady’s desire to become successful, per United Kingdom’s Daily Star newspaper. Tuchel, who is expected to sign a long-term deal with Chelsea, said he’s going after the Premier League title next season. Brady, for his part, is a huge fan of Soccer as he has several friends in Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar, retired soccer star David Beckham, Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann, Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne, Mexico striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.
Brady was also recently spotted in the opening match of Inter Miami, a Major League Soccer club owned by Beckham, against the Los Angeles Galaxy.
