‘Results tell one story’, says Arsenal’s Leah Williamson

Leah Williamson says “results tell one story” but her confidence levels have not dipped due to Arsenal’s disappointing start to the season.

Manager Jonas Eidevall resigned last week following Arsenal’s defeat by Chelsea which left them five points off leaders Manchester City after only five games.

“I’m a footballer. Our job is to win games and that hasn’t happened,” said Williamson.

“Results tell one story – performance is another thing. We can actually change and affect that on a day-to-day basis.”

Williamson is currently with the England squad preparing for friendly matches against Germany at Wembley on Friday and South Africa next Tuesday.

“To be honest, I’m happy to be here in a different environment,” added the Lionesses captain.

“I think sometimes that comes at the right time. Since I’ve been here, I’ve had no contact with [my] club and it’s quite easy to separate in that regard.

“[There is] no difference in the confidence levels. I can speak on the environment and the picture we paint of the situation is potentially different to the rollercoaster that you speak of.

“We are all footballers and deal with different scenarios. Now we are here with England and it is has been a consistent environment. We’re back and it’s nice.”
