Reflecting on Brady’s observations, Rooney said Was “really disappointed with the comment”.
“I think Tom came in once, it was the day before a game where the days are a little lighter, and I don’t think football has understood so well,” said former Captain of England.
He added: “Football is not NFL – The NFL works for three months a year. Players also need rest, so I think it’s very unfair, the way this has come out and portrayed this.”
Your movement, Tom.
