Jarrad Branthwaite has had an eventful month, to say the least.
From scoring a crucial stoppage time header – his first goal at Goodison Park – to holding his own against Erling Haaland and then suffering the unfortunate slip that led to Brentford’s goal, it has been a whirlwind season for the young Everton defender.
In the most recent game against Brighton, Branthwaite displayed his attacking prowess with a stunning finish to give Everton a lead, only for it to slip away in the 95th minute. Reflecting on the ups and downs, Branthwaite acknowledged the challenges but maintained his composure and level-headedness. “It’s all part of football. You have positives and you have negatives, but for me, it’s to just keep a level head, keep performing on the pitch, keep training hard and see where it takes me.”
While frustrated by the team’s lack of wins in the league, Branthwaite emphasized the team’s fighting spirit and determination to turn things around. He highlighted the change in mentality instilled by the manager and the team’s resilience in fighting until the end, even in the face of tough results.
In the midst of personal and team growth, Branthwaite remains focused on continuing to develop, train hard, and take each game as it comes. Despite the disappointment of the recent results, he is optimistic and determined to keep pushing for victories in the future.
