How does it feel compared to your first spell at the club?<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s so nice to see where I came from. Arsenal always felt big and successful in my eyes, but looking at how far we\u2019ve come is amazing. I\u2019m so glad to see that some parts of the club have stayed the same, like the values and the atmosphere, while huge improvements have been made in terms of facilities and growth off the pitch. <\/p>\n The club\u2019s ambitions are sky-high, especially this season, and you feel that across both men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams. It\u2019s a really inspirational environment to be in. I\u2019m motivated to succeed as an individual player and for our team to be the best it can be, so we can keep that trophy cabinet full.<\/p>\n What have you worked on specifically since joining the club?<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s always hard when you move to a new club because there are a lot of adaptations you have to make. Every team plays differently and it\u2019s so important to get to know your new team-mates, on and off the pitch. That takes time, but I never felt like anyone was rushing me or that process. The girls have been great, the coaching staff have been great, and I\u2019ve just focused on what I need to improve on. <\/p>\n I think I\u2019ve completely changed as a player compared to the start of the season. That\u2019s something I noticed when I was here as a kid \u2013 you have to step up and maintain your standards to play at the same level as the rest of the girls. <\/p>\n I\u2019ve been working on all areas of my game, but I definitely think my passing and one-on-one defending have improved. As a team we love having the ball, which has allowed me to work on my technical ability in possession. The variety of opposition has been a great challenge, too. The WSL has developed so much, even since I started playing, but we\u2019re also constantly up against different styles and top players in the Champions League as well. That requires a lot of adapting. <\/p>\n I came to Arsenal for a reason and I knew I was good enough to be here. Right now, I\u2019m happy with how much I\u2019ve improved and hopefully I can keep that up.<\/p>\n How have you found working under Ren\u00e9e and our coaching staff?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve really enjoyed it. Az (D\u2019Antino) is very funny and he likes to keep the motivation and spirits high, which is exactly what we all need during tough moments. Ren\u00e9e has been amazing and it\u2019s nice to have someone you can have good, honest conversations with. From our very first chat back in the summer, I loved her positivity around setting the ambitions for this club. Especially over the past few months, you can see how much we all want to achieve for this team because we\u2019re fighting for it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How does it feel compared to your first spell at the club?
