Tomáš Rosický: Little Mozart's Last Bow

[Steps]

The game loses a fantastic player. Thanks for the memories, Tomas.

Great player, too bad about the injuries.

Wonderful wonderful footballer. Used to control the tempo of our play so well. There are so many wonderful moments to choose from but if I had to pick just one this would be it -

His play from 3:21 mark onwards highlights how intelligent he really was. Fashioned a shooting opportunity, forced a good save from the keeper but he didn't just stand and admire. He got involved immediately and slipped Adebayor through on goal. Rosicky at his very very best.

Yes he was injured too much, but You can’t fault the man’s mentality. When he scored his goal he didn’t wait for the referee to call it, just ran off celebrating.
Say what you like about him, can’t fault him on the pitch.

Love it when a player understands the importance of a derby and raises his game by 10-15%.

Enjoy your retirement Tomas. It's bittersweet because we all wonder what might have been but for injuries. Thanks for the memories little Mozart.

Class when fit.

I remember the day and the place where I was when he signed. One of my favourite moments as an Arsenal fan. Its so rare that a player You adore signs for a club You worship. Goodbye little mozart, we all know You deserved much more than You got from Your career, but You gave us many little moments of joy and for that I will forever be grateful.

I read it on Ceefax

I actually believe I read it on the Rosetta stone.

Wonderful player, wonderful attitude. Bloody injuries.

 

[YeahBee]

great gifted technical player

sorta bitter about it all thou because injury plauged technically gifted players are our forté

 

[skip spence]

I'm just surprised he retired now.

Where did he rehab last season?

But that sounds harsh. Was very easy on the eye Tomas, he really played the beautiful game.

You'll struggle to find other players who make the game look so beautiful with the grace and elegance they move with (obviously Kaka, Bergkamp, etc.). His style made everything better to watch and seemed to up everyone else in the team's level too, the way he brought teammates in and forced them to play at his tempo. Arguably the perfect secondary playmaker type to link with a more arrogant, classic number 10 (Özil), it's a shame we didn't get to see them play together more because of Rosicky's injuries and Wenger's move to a less aesthetic style after 2013/14.

Woke up and saw this on twitter yesterday and genuinely welled up a little. Such a magical player, the orchestrator of such beautiful moments. He truly is Little Mozart.

Countless times where we were absolutely flat with no spark or energy and Wenger would put this man on and he would literally light up the whole game/ Fast paced Wenger-ball with passes pinging in and out opening up crazy space. To me, an all time favourite.

All time Arsenal legend. The midfield with Hleb, Rosicky, and Fabregas was one of the best ever midfields.

If it wasn't for injuries we'd have been talking about him challenging Iniesta for best attacking midfielder. The potential was there.

Short documentary with interview released by the club last week. Enjoy.


His farewell match is on June 9th in Prague.

Edit: "After the year 2008, we weren't good enough to win the league."

“I want to say goodbye to Sparta Prague and Czech national team fans straight from the pitch,” said Rosicky.

Let’s hope he doesn’t get injured making a sandwich or picking up the remote control before this weekend.
