Hello, this is Arsenal. Rosicky could leave Sparta and return to London – Seznam Zpravy

In Sparta, Tomáš Rosický once established himself as a talented player. And through Dortmund he got to Arsenal. In the role of sports director, he can now get a representative, already skipping the intermediate stop in Dortmund. Will Arteta encourage him to cooperate?

There was a note on the calendar with the date June 9, 2018. The apocalyptic downpour postponed the starting time of the game several times, but in the end it was played at Letná, at least twice for 30 minutes . On the one hand, the selection of the Czech representatives is led by Karl Brückner, on the other hand, the world selection is made up of former Dortmund and Arsenal players.

The main character of that day was Tomáš Rosický, who said goodbye to his career in this way. Robin van Persie, Jens Lehmann, Cesc Fabregas, Bacary Sagna, Alex Song and others came to remember him during his Gunnery days in Arsenal colours. Whoever thought this was the last major link between Arsenal and Rosicky at the time may have been wrong.

At the time of the mentioned presentation, Tomáš Rosický was already working as an advisor to Sparta’s board of directors and sports manager Zdeňko Ščášy, with whom he was learning the new trade of an official. In December 2018, Tomáš Rosický personally took over the role of sports manager of AC Sparta Prague.

All did not go well at first, for example, it was speculated that, in the summer of 2021, Rosický suggested Sparta hire coach Michal Bilek, while the club’s owner Daniel Křetínský pushed for Pavel Vrba. After this matador did not succeed as Letná expected, Tomáš Rosický made his position available. And by all accounts he got the desired effect. Not only was he confirmed in the role, but full confidence was placed in his hands.

Rosicky used this to make the best managerial move in his short official career. He brought the Danish coach Brian Priske to Letná. And with their combined care, Letné became a team that won two championships, made its mark in the Europa League and, after Priske left for Feyenoord this year, – already under the guidance of Lars Friis – even has gone to the Champions League.

Currently, Sparta is going through a weaker program, when they have been waiting for a victory for several weeks, either in the league or in the Champions League, due to a big loss.

And perhaps somewhat paradoxically, it is at this time that speculation begins about how Rosicky could go to Arsenal. As a player, he spent ten years in this big club in London. And although he was plagued by injuries for a large part of this tie, he left a big mark on the Emirates.

It is Arsenal who are now dealing with an important personnel question mark. Eduardo César Daud Gaspar, known by the football name Edu, who was also a player during the famous Arsenal era, decided to leave his executive structure.

He heard the appeal of Evangelos Marinakis, who owned Nottingham Forest, Olympiakos Piraeus and the Portuguese club Rio Ave. There, Edu gets a lot of space to fulfill his sporting visions everywhere. And by all accounts, he will be much better off financially.

The British media speculated that Arsenal’s structure was too strict for Edu, in which all moves had to be approved by the club’s board of directors. Even in the future, a change will be made in how balanced the position of the sports director on the one hand and the manager Mikel Arteta on the other will be next to each other.

Rosicky from the Emirates is also familiar with Arteta. It is speculated that Tomáš Rosický and Per Mertesacker, who is now one of the heads of Arsenal’s youth academy, should be the main options for the position left by Edu.

Rosicky refuses to comment on the situation yet. Already in January this year, he let it be known that he received an offer for cooperation from an unnamed big club, which he did not accept.

How would he behave now that Arsenal are in the game? To what extent is it possible to reduce his reputation with the current situation, when Sparta’s “new line” does not work? And how would he get along with Arteta? These are also the questions that the main characters of the Water Bearers podcast are looking for answers to.

There will also be an analysis of why Patrik Schick is again missing from the Czech nomination for the League of Nations, or a comparison between Dynamo České Budějovice and the historically weakest participants in the competition. highest Czech foot. Listen to the last episode to learn more!
