This Thursday, December 29, 2022 will be practically only remembered for the death at 82 years of age of Brazilian soccer legend, Edson Arantes do Nascimento “Pele”. The world not only of sports, but also of social life has paused for a moment to remember and somehow venerate the three-time World Cup champion. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and top model Gisele Bündchen, a fellow countrywoman of the former Santos striker, were not left behind.

Pele’s relationship with Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen
Just as Brady has become the single greatest Super Bowl winner of all time, Pele is the player who has won the World Cup the most times, the two primary competitions in football and soccer, respectively. This has led many experts of both sports to consider them the best of all time in their respective activities.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are among the few human beings able to compare in successes to Pele and even if only in mind and spirit, for a moment “O’Rei” brought them back together.
