Beth Mead's participation at Euro 2025 differs from her leading role in Euro 2022. She is now a substitute, having started only one game and scored once. Mead has adjusted to being one of the 'finishers' in coach Sarina Wiegman's strategy. Her flexibility allowed her to switch positions during matches, reflecting her adaptability. England's substitutes have been instrumental, scoring multiple goals and demonstrating depth. Mead emphasizes the importance of teamwork and readiness to contribute, regardless of starting status, as a key factor in England's success.
"You've got to be ready to go into the moment. You've got to be ready to go into a position that you might not want to play or don't normally play in and that was what was different for me [against Sweden]."
"I love being on the pitch, I love being able to do what I can do for the team but they're the things that you have to be able to do as a player. You have to expect the unexpected and be willing to do what you need to do for the team and the greater good."
