With the semi-final against Italy scheduled for Wednesday (IST), Mead has so far started only one of England\u2019s four games, and grabbed a goal in the 6-1 win over Wales.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"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).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I ended up playing in midfield as a number six and then I was a number 10 - I changed position a few times in the game and I loved it. 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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"You have to expect the unexpected and be willing to do what you need to do for the team and the greater good,\u201d Mead told BBC Sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After conceding two early goals against Sweden, the defending champions roared back and drew thequarterfinal clash 2-2, before eventually moving past on penalties (3-2). The Lionesses have shown togetherness throughout the tournament, which Mead believes sets them apart from the others in the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"You have to expect the unexpected and be willing to do what you need to do for the team and the greater good,\u201d Mead told BBC Sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"That's something that I've also seen as a shift of my role. I really know how important that is - from being a starter to being competitive in training - to make us better. So far I think we're doing a good job of that,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
