In 2014, although Arsenal were not consistent title contenders, they were far from the current turmoil the club faces. The players represented the club with pride and integrity, with Tomas Rosicky being one of its key figures.
“Arsenal is a huge name worldwide. Even during tough times, the club remained prominent. It’s a clean club and can compete with anyone using its own resources,” he told The Independent in 2014.
Rosicky, who had been with Arsenal since 2006, said, “I’ve always had everything I wanted here, even during the tough periods. Arsenal is a big club with big ambition, and it’s always been worth fighting for. That’s why I’ve stayed so long. Was I happy we didn’t win for so long? Of course not, but I wanted to keep fighting for it. This club is worth fighting for.”
Known for his technical skill, understanding of the game, and memorable goals against Spurs, Rosicky remains a hero among fans. Unfortunately, today, it’s rare to find players with the same passion for the club. Most of those who do share this passion are academy graduates, highlighting the disappointing shift in the club’s culture.
