He was FIFA Best Player and World Champions with Brazil, he retired and now could come back to the pitch

Brazilian club America-RJ has reportedly signed the football Brazilian legend Romario de Souza Faria to play in the second division of the Campeonato Carioca. Although he is a legend of the game, the Brazilian striker is 58 years old, and he explains his reason for playing again. Romario said, "I'm going to make another dream come true, playing next to my son. Few athletes and football players have the opportunity to play together with their son. And I, at the age of 58, am still in top form. I hope he passes the ball often and plays me so that I can remain the top scorer.”
