Beth Mead says she has learned to channel her energy “a little bit better” after going into the 2021-22 campaign fuelled by the disappointment of rejection.
The forward was named the Arsenal fans’ player of the season after a stellar campaign in which she scored 11 goals and provided eight assists, the joint highest in the league alongside Manchester United’s Ella Toone. Mead had credited her success to “playing angry” after she was not picked for the Olympics by the temporary England and Team GB manager, Hege Riise, last summer.
