Tomas Rosicky: “When I joined Arsenal, I thought, ‘I will win everything’. I always said I would not leave until we won something.”
“It’s a difficult time when your friends are leaving & changes are happening in the squad, but I didn’t want to have unfinished business.” Tomas Rosicky on Arsenal’s 2007/08 campaign: “I thought many times about what could have been. It was the time where I enjoyed the football side most. The group we had, the quality, how we linked together, how we played.”
“There was a lot of friendship inside the group. That can give you a margin. If something happens to your friend, you will protect him. It’s personal.”
“It was a great team & a good season — until certain moments happened. But on the other hand, it also become the worst time for me because I got injured in January. After that, Robin van Persie got hurt, Eduardo broke his leg & we didn’t have the strength in numbers to finish it.”
“If we’d won the league, more players would have stayed. Robin [van Persie], Mathieu Flamini, Gilberto Silva, Gael Clichy, Cesc Fabregas – if we’d stayed together it could have been really great.”
