#3 Tomas Rosicky is Marko Reus\'s idol
The German star is a huge fan of current Arsenal player Tomas Rosicky, who played for Borussia Dortmund for six seasons between 2001 and 2006. Rosicky was a key member of the Dortmund squad during his time in Germany before his move to Arsenal, and Reus admitted he grew up watching his games and tries to replicate his impact.
While Reus and Rosicky never played together in the same team since Marco was still making a name for himself in the youth squad, he has fond memories of the current Czech Republic national team captain.
“My idol was always Tomas Rosicky. He used to be phenomenal. He had such a good eye for an opening and knew where his teammates were, and he was so quick,” he explained.
“Rosicky had great technique and was so intelligent and mature even though he was still young at Dortmund. I copied everything about him, right down to his sweatbands.”
Rosicky left for Arsenal in 2006 while Marco Reus also left Dortmund in 2006 to sign for Rot Weiss before returning in 2012. Reus did not make a single senior appearance during his first spell with the club, but has now scored 45 goals in 94 appearances and is a fan favourite.
