Tom Brady publishes a surprise episode of his series on Facebook

There has been a lot of speculation about when Tom Brady could eventually retire, but do not expect that to happen anytime soon.

A quarter of the Patriots released Wednesday a surprise episode of his Facebook documentary, and in the five-minute video, Brady made it clear he wanted to play until age 45. However, he admitted that playing five more seasons would not be easy.

"I'd like to play another five years – 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 – it will be a challenge for me, I do not think it's going to be easy," Brady said. "It's going to be hard to do, I think it's going to be very difficult to do, but I think I can do it."

Although Brady has five Super Bowl wins and three MVPs to his credit, the 41-year-old said he still has a lot to do in football.

"Once you stop, you're done and I think I'm not ready to say I'm done because I do not feel like I. I think there are still things to accomplish, "said Brady. "It would be like coming up to the mountain and saying," That's good, I'm fine. "It's like," No, you worked very hard to get to this point, you have to finish it. "

Brady also thinks that the second half of his career has been more impressive than the first half.

"I think the last eight years of my career have been better than the top 10, so I should just extend them and that's what I'm trying to do," Brady said.

The surprise episode of Brady's documentary lasted only five minutes and fourteen seconds, significantly less than the other six episodes of "Tom vs. Time," released earlier this year and spaced from 14 to 21 minutes.

Although Brady always said that he wants to play until 45 years oldthere has been speculation that he could call it before that. During episode 5 of his documentary, Brady told Gisele that he would be retiring he made two other Super Bowls.

"Two more Super Bowls, two more," said Brady. "It could be shorter than five or six [more years]. "

This interview with Brady took place in August 2017, which means that Brady has already eliminated one of these Super Bowls from his list. If Brady maintains his plan for two more Super Bowls, it means he could retire at the end of the 2018 season if the Patriots arrive at the Super Bowl.

One of Brady's close friends, Willie McGinest, thinks that's exactly what's going to happen, but only if the Patriots win everything. During the summer, McGinest predicted that Brady would retire if New England won the Super Bowl LIII.

Of course, if Brady continues to play, he will probably only do so if he plays, and it seems so. In the documentary, Brady admitted that the last few years have not been as fun, but it seems that things are getting better.

"In the last two years, many football games were not fun when they should have been," Brady said. "Part was my approach, and you know, I think every time you're together with people for a long time, the relationships come and go and I think people are just trying to write and talk. from a lot of dramas and I'm sure a lot of teams have things like that, but ours is just in the tenth degree. I'm learning how to handle that better. "
