The reaction of his team-mates to the attention drawn to a player who, while in Germany, had earned the nicknamed ‘Little Mozart’ for the way he orchestrated games, revealed a great deal about the Czech captain. They were laughing and trying to hold him in place for the cameras. Rosicky just wanted to get out of there. And it was even more evident in the post-match interview as Rosicky squirmed in front of the camera and interviewer - like a teenager making his television debut, not a player who is just six caps shy of making a century of appearances for his country. Hardly renowned for his pace on the pitch, Rosicky couldn’t get away quick enough once he had handed over the man-of-the-match award to Per Mertesacker. While he may be the reluctant superstar in the Arsenal ranks, happy to leave team-mates to grab the attention and headlines, Rosicky is happy enough performing on stage with a guitar in his hand. International and club colleagues have witnessed this hidden side to Rosicky. And there is no hiding the value to teams too. Steady, understated and hardworking, Rosicky still has the vision and intelligence to prise teams open. He has made significant contributions to the Arsenal cause throughout his seven years when not hindered by injury, as he was five years ago when a serious hamstring problem ruled him out for an entire season The two-year deal Rosicky signed earlier this month for the Gunners sums up Wenger’s feelings on a player who joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in 2006, having become the Bundesliga’s record signing when he left Sparta Prague for £13million five years earlier.
